The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s talk about what’s cooking. We’re looking at a pretty quiet stretch up front, so don’t be in a rush to grab your board. The first real chance to get wet won’t come until Saturday the 22nd of August, and even then, it’s a short-lived window.
The standout session is on Saturday morning the 22nd of August at Capo Marina. Now, this is a reef break, and it’s inconsistent, so it doesn’t just fire up all the time. But when it does, it can be a gem. The water is sitting at 83°F, which is a solid 7°F warmer than usual for this time of year – seriously warm, almost like a bath. We’ve got a 5ft SSW swell pushing in, with a combined energy of 240 (moderate), and a clean northerly offshore breeze. That’s the recipe for clean, lined-up waves. The period is 8 seconds, so it’s a mid-range swell, not super long, but it’ll give you a decent shape. Keep in mind, it’s an advanced break, and it can get crowded sometimes, but for a Saturday morning, that offshore wind is the real deal.
After that, the swell drops off fast. Saturday afternoon sees a 3ft SSW swell with a cross-offshore ESE breeze, but it drops to a combined energy of 96 (weak). Sunday the 23rd is tiny, with 2ft and 1ft, and the trend is downhill from there. From Monday the 24th all the way through to Friday the 28th of August, we’re looking at a flat spell. There’s just nothing worth paddling out for – waves are barely a ripple, or completely flat.
Towards the end of the week, things get a bit interesting again. On Friday the 28th of August afternoon, the swell bumps up to 5ft from the SSW, with a combined energy reading of 217 (moderate), but the wind is onshore from the south at 12 mph, making it messy. Skip it. The real action comes back on Saturday morning the 29th of August. This is the second standout. The swell is 5ft from the SW, combining for 236 (moderate), and we’ve got a clean cross-offshore breeze from the NNW. The period is 8 seconds again. It’s not a massive day, but it’s clean, and for a reef like Capo Marina, that’s the ticket. It’s a solid morning session.
The afternoon of the 29th sees the swell jump to 6ft from the SW, with a combined energy of 570 (strong), but the wind swings onshore from the SSW. That’s a big, messy wave – only for the experts, and even then, it’s marginal. From Sunday the 30th of August onwards, it’s back to tiny, low-energy dribble right through to the end of the forecast on the 6th of September. Not worth chasing.
Bottom line: You’ve got two clear windows: Saturday the 22nd morning, and Saturday the 29th morning. The rest is a flat spell or blown out. Capo Marina is the only game in town, and it’s a reef that needs the right direction. The 22nd looks the better of the two for a clean, fun session.
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.
