The Lowdown
Alright, this is Rusty. Let's talk about what's on offer for the next sixteen days.
Straight up, I'm looking at a pretty grim stretch here. For the first week, it's a whole lot of nothing. The waves are tiny, mostly in the 0.3ft to 3ft range, and the energy is just pathetic. The water is a stinking hot 83°, which is 7° warmer than usual for this time of year – that's a very unusual anomaly, practically bathwater.
The only spot that even gets a look-in is Capo Marina. This is a tricky, advanced reef break that's inconsistent, and it's only really going to be worth a mention on a few specific mornings. The optimum swell direction is from the SSW.
The best bet in the whole outlook is the Sunday morning, July 26th. We've got a 3ft SE swell pushing in, with a cross-offshore wind from the east. The energy is weak, only 30 (30), but the offshore wind will have it clean. Given the size and the inconsistent nature of the spot, it's not going to be a classic, but it's the best the forecast has to offer. It's a small window of potential.
After that, the Monday morning, July 27th, is your next best shout. A 2ft SW swell with a 6-second period and a light offshore wind from the NE. The energy is a bit better at 36 (36), and it should be clean. Still small, but it's a workable wave if you're keen.
For the rest of that first week, it's all tiny, onshore slop or flat spells. There's a big gap of hardly any surfable waves from the 28th of July right through the start of August.
Then, we get a slight spark on Thursday morning, August 6th. The swell picks up to 2ft from the SW, but this time with an 8-second period and a clean cross-shore breeze. The energy jumps to 62 (62), which is the highest in the forecast. This is the most promising day in the second week, but it's still a long way off and the break is inconsistent, so keep your expectations in check.
The rest of the second week is more of the same – tiny, onshore, or flat. This is a remarkably blank run for the area. It's not looking good at all.
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.
