The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what’s cookin’ for Capo Marina. I gotta be straight with you – this is a tough 16-day stretch. There’s no real action for you in the first week, just a few tiny bumps that aren’t worth paddling for. The whole outlook is a big long wait with only a couple of fleeting moments where it might start to feel like surfing again.
The main window where things get interesting is around the 29th of August. That Saturday morning, we’ll see a bit of a pulse from the SSW. We’re looking at clean, 4ft waves at Capo Marina (reef) with light offshore winds out of the NNE. The combined swell energy will be bumping up to a moderate 160, so there’s some life in the water, but it’s still a small, short-period swell (7 seconds). The water temp is a very unusual 83°, which is much warmer than normal for this time of year.
Because this is an advanced reef break with inconsistent surf, that 4ft is really the only stand-out in the whole forecast. After that, we get a quick drop-off. There’s a smaller pulse on the morning of the 30th with 2ft waves and offshore wind, but the energy is weak (60). It’s a decent enough morning session if you’re desperate, but it’s not gonna set the world on fire.
After that, it’s a long, grim march into the first week of September. From the 31st of August right through to the 6th of September, we're looking at flat to near-flat conditions. There’s a tiny flicker on the 2nd of September with 2ft waves and weak energy (43), but with a cross-offshore wind, it’s just barely rideable. The rest of the time, it’s onshore slop or nothing. Honestly, the whole fortnight is a struggle. If you’re dedicated, your best bet is that Saturday the 29th or the 30th morning, but keep your expectations in check.
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.
