The Lowdown
Alright folks, let’s get into it. Rusty here.
First off, I’m gonna level with you – this is a tough stretch for Capo Marina. The next week and a bit is looking pretty flat with barely a ripple. We’ve got a long gap from now until the morning of Friday, August 21st, where there’s just nothing worth paddling out for. The water is warm, way warmer than usual for this time of year at 84°, but that’s about the only highlight.
The first real sign of life shows up on the morning of Friday, August 21st. A small SSW swell pushes in at 4 ft, with a period of 8 seconds and a combined energy of 198 (moderate). The wind is light and cross-offshore from the N at 6 mph, so it’ll be clean. It’s only just surfable, but it’s not a standout by any stretch. The afternoon gets messy with a cross-onshore wind.
Saturday, August 22nd, the morning sees a drop to 2 ft from the SW, period still 8 seconds. The energy is pretty weak at 48. The wind is offshore from the N at 6 mph, so it’ll be clean, but it’s small. This is another so-so day.
The best of the bunch comes later. On Tuesday, August 25th, the afternoon brings a nice SW swell at 5 ft, period 6 seconds, with a combined energy of 278 (moderate to strong). The wind is cross-offshore from the NW at 9 mph, keeping it clean. The swell direction from the SSW is close to the optimum (SSW), so it’ll wrap in well. This is the one day that looks like it might actually be fun. It’s a reef break, so it needs a bit of size to work, and it’s inconsistent, so you’ll have to be patient. Crowds are sometimes an issue, but with the recent flat spell, it might not be too bad.
The morning of Wednesday, August 26th, still has some leftover energy at 4 ft from the SSW, but it’s weaker (131 energy) and not as clean. After that, it fades back into the flat zone.
So, if you’re itching for a session, circle Tuesday the 25th afternoon. The rest is a waiting game. Long-range stuff is promising but less certain, so keep an eye on the forecasts.
Rusty.

Information about the Capo Marina Surf forecast
The above surf forecast table for Capo Marina provides essential information for determining whether the surfing conditions will be good over the next 16 days. A general guide to surfing at Capo Marina can be found by selecting the local surf guide option on the grey menu. Our Capo Marina surf forecast is unique since it includes wave energy (power) that defines the real feel of the surf rather than just the height or the period. If you surf the same spot (Capo Marina) regularly then make a mental note of the wave energy from the surf forecast table each time you go. Very soon you may start to choose your surf days based on the wave energy alone combined with our forecast of favourable offshore wind conditions. Our star ratings will help here and of course you will also find the usual wave height and period predictions on our surf forecasts as well as a full break down of the swell components under our advanced users option (to reveal that, click the little Einstein character under the tide times).
Further information to help with frequently asked questions about our surf forecast for Capo Marina may be found under the help tab on the top menu and also by moving your mouse over the question marks on the surf forecast table itself. Please always bear in mind that the forecast is for near-shore open water and local factors at each surf break influence the actual breaking wave height, such as the beach / reef profile, water depths offshore and shelter.
