The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s have a yarn about what’s coming up for Capo Marina over the next couple of weeks. It’s a bit of a waiting game, and we’ve got a long stretch of flat, poor conditions before anything worth paddling out for shows up.
The first week and a half is honestly pretty grim. We’re looking at a solid gap of about ten days with nothing to recommend. Lots of tiny dribble—swells under 2ft—and weak energy readings staying below 100. Wednesday afternoon the 26th is glassy, but with a 0.3ft swell there’s literally nothing to ride. Even when we get a bump on the 29th Saturday morning—4ft at 6 seconds from the SSW with light offshore winds—the combined energy is only 110, and I’d call it surfable but nothing special.
The real standout, the one worth circling on the calendar, is Saturday the 5th of September. That morning we’ve got 6ft of SSW groundswell, rolling in with a solid 9-second period. The combined energy hits 552, which is proper, and with glassy conditions under a light NNW breeze, Capo Marina is going to be clean and grunty. This is the pick of the whole forecast. Just a heads up: this is an advanced reef break that’s inconsistent, and it can get crowded sometimes.
The water temp is sitting at 81°F, which is about 5°F warmer than usual for this time of year—that’s very unusual, so expect bathwater conditions.
Now, the days leading up to that are still poor, and after that Sunday the 6th through to the end of the window, the swell dries right up again, dropping back under 2ft and fading energy. That’s your lot.
Keep your eyes on that Saturday the 5th. It’s the only true standout.
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.
