The Lowdown
G'day, I'm Rusty. Let's have a look at what's on the cards for the Capo Marina area over the next couple of weeks.
Honestly, it's a tough stretch for this spot. For the first eight days, from Saturday the 18th of July right through to the morning of Saturday the 25th of July, the swell is basically a no-show. We're looking at tiny dribbles of 1.0ft to 2ft, with periods so short you'd be better off on a boogie board. The combined wave energy is pitiful, sitting below 30 (22) most of the time, which is barely a ripple. It's a real flat spell and there's just nothing worth paddling out for.
The only glimmer of hope, and I mean a glimmer, comes in around Sunday the 26th of July. The morning shows a pulse of 3ft SSW swell, but with a short period of 6 seconds. The wind is glassy, which is a beautiful thing, but the energy is still weak at 91. The forecast calls it "surfable waves but very ordinary conditions", and I'd have to agree. It's not an epic, but if you're desperate for a water time, it's the first real taste of anything.
Then Monday the 27th of July morning brings a slightly better setup. A 4ft SSE swell with a 6-second period, and the wind is offshore from the NNE, which is perfect for this exposed reef break. The combined energy ticks up to 102, so there's a bit more push. The afternoon stays clean with offshore breezes as the swell eases to 3ft. It's still not a stand-out by any means, but it's the most rideable window in the whole outlook.
After that, it fades back into the doldrums. Tuesday the 28th of July has a 2ft SW swell with a longer 9-second period, but the energy is still moderate at 82. We get a few glassy moments into the afternoon, but the size is just too small to get excited about. Everything else through to the 2nd of August is essentially flat or super small, with poor conditions.
If you're an advanced surfer looking for a paddle, Monday the 27th of July morning is your best bet. The consistent offshore wind and that 4ft swell will offer the cleanest lines. The crowd situation at Capo Marina is listed as "sometimes", so you might have a few others out, but it won't be a circus. For everyone else, the next week and a half is a write-off. This area is a reef, so with the longer period swell on the 28th of July, it might actually break a bit better here than at a beach, but the size is still the issue.
Signing off, 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.
Capo Marina is 4 km (2 miles) from Genova. If you plan a holiday in West Coast of Italy, look for hotels and other accommodation in Genova. Genova has rooms for a wide range of budgets as well as car hire and transport links.
