The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here again. I’ll keep it plain: we’ve got a long, dry run ahead. The next 16 days are basically a bust for any proper waves around here. A big gap from now until late in the month with almost no swell to speak of.
The first hint of anything is at Capo Marina, a reef break that’s advanced-only and inconsistent. Even then, we don’t get anything rideable until Friday the 18th, and it’s still small. The water’s sitting at a warm 79°, which is *much warmer than normal* for the time of year – feels like summer, but the waves aren't cooperating.
Let’s go through it. The first week is flat or tiny junk. Tuesday the 15th has zero swell. Wednesday the 16th is glassy but flat. Thursday the 17th shows a tiny 0.4m SW groundswell with a short period, combined wave energy of just 9 – that’s weak, barely a ripple. Light cross-shore wind, but nothing to ride.
Now, Friday morning the 18th is the first moment worth a mention. We get a 1.3m SSW swell with a 6-second period, giving us moderate wave energy at 180. But the wind is light cross-shore, and at 1.3m, it’s still small and short period. It’s not clean, quality surf – just the biggest thing in an empty window. That afternoon, it drops back to 0.7m with an onshore wind – no good.
After that, it’s back to nothing. Saturday the 19th morning has a clean 0.4m SW swell with a 7-second period under a light offshore N wind at 9 mph – clean conditions, but the swell energy is only 11. You might see a knee-high ripple if you’re lucky. From Sunday the 20th right through to the end of the month, the surf flatlines. Day after day of 0.1m or zero swell. The 26th, 27th, 28th – all flat. The last couple of days on the 29th and 30th only show a tiny 0.2m SSE pulse with a 4-second period.
So, there’s no standout session here. No day where the size, wind, and break quality line up. The closest thing to a “best on offer” is Friday morning the 18th, because at least there’s some size and energy, but the cross-shore wind and short period keep it mushy and weak. Don’t plan a trip around it.
If you’ve got a kite, Saturday the 26th is clean and glassy in the morning – but for a surfboard, you’re out of luck.
Keep your eyes peeled. Forecasts can change, but this one’s a tough stretch.
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.
