The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here. Let’s chew through this next couple of weeks.
It’s a dry start, mate. The first chance to paddle out isn’t until Monday, 27 July, and even then it’s small. The water’s a warm 82°F, which is about 5°F warmer than usual for this time of year – that’s a real standout, feels like a hot tub.
The only break in the game is Capo Marina (reef). It’s an advanced, inconsistent reef that needs a good SSW swell to light up. Monday morning brings a tiny 2ft from the SW, with a short 7-second period and weak energy. The wind is light cross-offshore from the NE, so it’ll be clean, but it’s just too small. The afternoon turns cross-on from the SSE, and it’s junk.
From Tuesday through the end of July, it’s basically flat. There’s a glassy morning on Wednesday, 29 July, but the swell is a miserable 0.7ft. Not worth the walk.
We get a little bump on Monday, 3 August. The morning shows 3ft from the SSW with a 6-second period and moderate energy (51). The wind is light offshore from the NNE, so it’s clean. Surfable, but ordinary. The afternoon gets messy with a cross-on.
The second week is mostly dead. Saturday, 8 August, has a pulse of 4ft from the SSW in the afternoon, but the wind is cross-on from the SSE and it’s choppy. That’s a fair bit of energy (162) but the conditions are poor. Sunday, 9 August, has 3ft from the SW in the morning with moderate energy (101), but again, cross-on wind.
The only other morning that might be worth a look is Monday, 10 August, with 4ft from the SSW and a clean cross-off wind from the north at 12 mph. That’ll groom it up. The energy is moderate (124). Still, for an inconsistent reef that needs a bigger, longer-period groundswell from the SSW, this is just average. Crowds are possible here.
The best of the lot is probably Monday, 3 August, or maybe Monday, 10 August, for a clean session with chest-high waves. No true standouts, though. If the swell ever locks in from the SSW with a longer period, this spot could go off, but that’s not in this forecast.
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.
