Table - best surf conditions forecast for Capo Marina over the next 16 days.
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s talk about what’s happening in the water. We’re looking at Capo Marina, a reef break that’s an advanced, inconsistent wave. It needs a specific swell direction to really work, and honestly, the next couple of weeks are a tough watch. The water is sitting at 78°F which is much warmer than normal for this time of year – a solid 5°F above average, so you can leave the thick rubber at home.
The first real chance of anything rideable doesn’t show up until Wednesday, July 22nd. That morning, we’ll see a clean 3 ft wave from the SSW, with a period of 6 seconds and the combined energy is a weak 45. It’s not big, it’s not long period, but it’s head and shoulders above the flat spell we’ve been looking at. The wind is cross-offshore from the north, so it should be clean. The problem is, it’s at Capo Marina, which is already inconsistent, so this is a real gamble. If you’re a seasoned local who knows the rock, it might be worth a paddle. The afternoon goes onshore, so don’t sleep in.
Before that, we have a long, long gap. From now right through to the morning of the 22nd, most of the entries are showing flat or near-flat conditions with zero energy. You’ll see a few tiny 0.7 ft to 1 ft bumps, but the energy is in the single digits, and the wave comments are all “poor surf conditions.” It’s a bleak run for a spot that’s already hard to catch. There’s a stretch of almost two weeks where there’s nothing to recommend.
The only other glimmer comes on Sunday, July 19th. We’ve got a 2 ft SSW swell in the morning, clean with a light cross-off wind, and the energy is up to 12. That’s still weak, but it’s the best of a bad bunch before the 22nd. The period is only 5 seconds, so it’ll be a bit soft and lumpy.
Forget the second week. The 23rd and 24th are back to tiny, weak leftovers. The 22nd is the standout, and it’s a very low bar. It’s a “maybe” for the experts only.
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.
