The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here. Let’s break it down in feet.
Bottom line: Capo Marina is going through a proper drought. This spot is a high-quality, inconsistent reef that needs a good south-southwest swell to fire, and for the full sixteen days, it just doesn’t get the juice.
Right now, into Tuesday, July 14th, we’ve got close to nothing. Water temp is 27°, which is nearly 4° warmer than usual for this time of year—it’s really warm out there. But the surf? Flat. First Tuesday morning you’re looking at 0.7ft from the SSE, period a low 6 seconds, with an energy reading of 4—that’s basically zero. The wind is glassy from the east-northeast, so the ocean looks pretty, but you’d be hard-pressed to get a ride.
Tuesday afternoon goes cross-onshore, and we stay tiny. Wednesday and Thursday offer little more: the “biggest” is Thursday morning (July 16th), a 1ft SSW swell, period 5 seconds, energy 12. Winds are clean and cross-offshore from the north, so it’ll be smooth-faced, but you’re dealing with tiny, weak waves.
Friday the 17th is totally flat. Saturday the 18th sees a slight bump to about 2ft by the afternoon, period 5 seconds, energy 21—but the wind swings cross-onshore, so it gets choppy. Sunday morning (July 19th) is probably your best bet in the whole run: 2ft, period 6 seconds, energy 29, and clean cross-offshore winds from the north. Still knee-high at best, though.
Then things go dead. From late on the 20th right through to the 29th of July—over a week—there’s effectively no swell. The combined energy is often zero. The wind is clean a lot of the time, but without any wave height, it doesn’t matter.
The only flicker of hope comes on Wednesday, July 29th morning. A 1ft SW swell shows up, period 8 seconds, energy 20, with offshore north winds. That’s promising in terms of wind, but it’s still just a tiny pulse. It’s a long-range whisper—something to dream on, but not to drive for.
So, to be straight with you: there are no standouts. This is what happens when an inconsistent reef spot goes through a flat spell. It’s a total dust-off.
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.
