The Lowdown
Alright, let’s do this in feet and Fahrenheit, mate. Rusty here.
I’ve been staring at the charts for this spot, and it’s a tough stretch.
The 16-day forecast window kicks off on Monday, August 3rd, and we’re looking at a long, quiet spell. For the first week and a half, the swell is barely a whisper, with heights mostly sitting between 0.3 ft and 2 ft. The combined energy of all swells directed here barely cracks double digits, peaking at a meagre 30 (moderate energy) on the afternoon of Wednesday, August 12th. That’s not enough to get excited about for a paddle surf. The water temperature is sitting at 82°, which is a whopping 5° warmer than usual – that’s very unusual for the time of year, so at least you won’t need a wetsuit.
From Monday, August 3rd, right through to about Sunday, August 16th, there’s a long gap with no real surf to recommend. The wind is often light and sometimes glassy early in the mornings, which is a beautiful thing, but there’s just no wave energy to work with. The swell is mostly short-period stuff, under 8 seconds, so it’s weak and won’t hold shape. The one spot on the cards is Capo Marina, a reef break that’s inconsistent by nature. It’s an advanced wave, and with crowds sometimes showing up, it’s usually a bit of a local affair. The optimum swell direction is SSW, but we’re hardly seeing any of that.
The best shot—if you can call it that—comes on Saturday, August 8th. The morning shows a 1 ft SSW swell, with a period of 7 seconds. The wind is light and cross-offshore from the ENE (5 km/h), which should keep it clean. The combined energy nudges up to 23 (weak energy). It’s still tiny, but it’s the cleanest, most consistent-looking window for a wave. After that, it’s back to the same story: small, short-period rubbish until the end of the forecast.
The second week is even more of a write-off, with many days showing zero swell. By Tuesday, August 18th, the wind picks up to 20 km/h from the south, creating a moderate cross-onshore chop. That’s just ugly. Honestly, for most of this outlook, the setup looks more interesting for a kite surfer than a paddle surfer, given the clean but gutless conditions.
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.
