The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here. Let's have a look at what's cookin'.
Right off the bat, I gotta be straight with ya – this is a tough stretch for Capo Marina. We're looking at a long, flat spell with a whole lot of nothing happening. For the first week, from Tuesday the 18th all the way through to Sunday the 24th, it's basically a write-off. We’ve got tiny ankle-snappers mixed with onshore breezes and risk of thunderstorms. The wave energy is in the dumps, with readings between 3 and 52, which is basically weak to very weak. Not a single session worth paddling out for.
Now, here's where it gets a little interesting, but you gotta be patient. The real standout window opens up on Tuesday the 25th. Tuesday morning is the best on offer. We’ve got clean 4ft surf coming from the SSW, with a light offshore breeze from the North. The swell period is 7 seconds, so it's a short-period wind swell, but with that offshore wind, Capo Marina (reef) could actually shape up a few fun little corners. The energy is moderate at 153, which is the biggest bump we see. The water temp is a balmy 84°, which is a massive 7° warmer than average – very unusual for this time of year, so you might want a thinner suit.
After that, the surf drops off again fast. We get a few more glimpses of hope. Thursday the 27th afternoon could be worth a look with glassy conditions and 4ft swell from the SW, but the energy is moderate at 103. Then on Friday the 28th morning, we see another clean window with a light offshore wind and 3ft SSW swell (energy 93). The wind shifts on Friday afternoon, so get on it early.
Into the second week, it's mostly small and sloppy. Wednesday the 2nd of September morning has a moderate offshore wind and 3ft SW swell with an 8-second period, which is about the best of the late-stage offerings. But honestly, it’s a long wait for not much reward.
To be blunt, the only real standout is Tuesday the 25th morning. It’s not a world-class day, but with the offshore wind cleaning up that 4ft SSW swell, you could find a few little gems on the reef. Everything else is small, weak, or blown out.
Stay patient, keep an eye on the charts, and don't force it.
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.
