The Lowdown
Alright, surfers, Rusty here. Let's get into it.
Right off the bat, I gotta be straight with you – the next week and a half is looking pretty flat and sad. There's a long, dry spell ahead before we see any real action. The first sign of life doesn't show up until Friday, August 7th, which is over a week away.
Up until then, we're looking at a whole lot of nothing. Tiny dribbles of swell, mostly under 1 feet, with periods so short they'd barely make a ripple. The wind is all over the place, but with no wave energy to work with, it doesn't matter. You'll see a few mornings with glassy conditions, like Friday morning, July 31st, or Tuesday morning, August 4th, but there's just no swell to ride. The combined energy readings are all single digits and low double digits. It's a frustrating stretch, but we know it turns around.
The one and only highlight in this entire 16-day window is Friday morning, August 7th, at Capo Marina (reef). This is the standout. The forecast shows a solid 6 feet swell from the SW, with a period of 7 seconds. That's not a super long period, but combined with the size, it's pumping a ton of energy into the water. The combined energy value is a massive 501, which is honestly strong. This will be a proper wave. We've got a light N wind at 6 mph, coming cross-offshore, which should keep the faces clean and lined up. This is a wave for the advanced crew, though – that 6 feet on a reef break is no joke for beginners. Keep in mind, this is an inconsistent break, so it might not be the most reliable, but when it's on, it's on. The water temp is a stunning 82°, about 5° warmer than usual for this time of year, which is very unusual – you'll barely need a spring suit.
The rest of the month is a write-off. Friday afternoon, August 7th, sees the swell drop to 3 feet and the wind goes onshore, so that morning session is your target. After that, it's back to tiny, weak surf and choppy, messy conditions for the rest of the forecast period. A few days of flatness follow, with no waves at all until Thursday, August 12th, when a tiny 2 feet SSE swell shows up with a light morning wind, but it's still poor quality.
So, mark your calendar for Friday, August 7th. Get up early, get to Capo Marina, and score that morning window. That's your one real shot.
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.
