G’day, Rusty here.
Look, I’ll be straight with you – the outlook for this spot is pretty grim. We’ve got a solid 16-day window ahead, but it’s mostly a write-off for anyone wanting to paddle into something decent. There’s a long stretch of nothing at the start, and even when we finally see a bit of energy, it’s not great.
The first real chance of anything surfable doesn’t show up until Monday, July 20th in the afternoon. Before that, from Saturday, July 11th right through to the morning of the 20th, it’s a total dud. We’re talking tiny, weak waves and poor conditions. For a spot like Capo Marina – a reef that’s already inconsistent and needs a specific SSW swell – this kind of blank run is pretty normal.
So, on Monday afternoon, July 20th, we finally see a pulse of moderate energy (102) with a 3ft swell from the SSW, but it’s straight onshore with a light breeze from the south-west. It’s messy and not worth getting excited about. The water is running much warmer than normal for this time of year, a solid 80°, which is a big anomaly.
The only day that might get your heart beating a little is Tuesday morning, July 21st. We’ve got a 4ft SSW swell with a period of 7 seconds, and the combined energy is moderate (153). The wind is a clean offshore from the north at 12 mph, which will keep the faces of Capo Marina looking good. For a reef break that loves this direction, it could offer a few clean, punchy waves. But it’s still only just over three feet, so it’s not a standout by any means. The period is a bit short, so it’ll be a little crumbly, not a proper groundswell.
After that, Thursday morning, July 23rd, and Friday morning, July 24th, offer similar small, clean waves (3ft to 3ft) with light offshore or glassy conditions, but the energy is weak and the surf is just ordinary. Saturday morning, July 25th, sees a 3ft SW swell with a slightly longer 8-second period and clean offshores, but again, it’s very small.
Honestly, if you’re desperate, the Tuesday morning, July 21st session is the best on offer, but it’s not a blower. The rest of the 16 days is just small, weak, or onshore junk. I’d keep an eye on the forecasts, but don’t hold your breath.
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.
