The Lowdown
Alright, let’s be honest here. The outlook for Capo Marina is a total bummer. We’re talking a 16-day stretch with basically nothing to get you out of bed.
First things first, the water. On the 27th of August, it’s reading 82°F, which is a whopping 6°F above normal. That’s a seriously warm anomaly, very unusual.
The whole period starts with a run of tiny, weak swells. The combined wave energy is pathetic, barely hitting double digits. For instance, Thursday morning the 27th has a tiny 1ft swell from the SW with a short period of 6 seconds, and the energy is a measly 5. There’s just no power. The wind is light and offshore in the morning, which would be clean glass, but there’s zero push.
The first real chance comes on Saturday the 29th of August. The morning shows a 4ft SW swell with a 6-second period and the combined energy finally climbs to 169 (moderate). The wind is light and offshore from the east, so it’ll be clean. It’s surfable, but nothing special. The afternoon drops to 3ft and the wind turns onshore, killing it.
After that, it’s back to the desert. We have a whole week of knee-high or smaller slop, with very poor conditions. The wind is rarely on your side. Monday the 31st of August you get a glassy morning, but the swell is just 0.7ft with no energy.
The next date worth a look is Thursday the 10th of September. The afternoon shows a 5ft swell from the SSW, with a 6-second period, and the combined energy jumps to 331 (strong). The wind is a gentle cross-shore, so it’ll be a bit choppy. It’s still a marginal, mixed bag. The morning of the 10th is a total washout with onshore wind and storms.
So, the best on offer is a toss-up between that Saturday morning the 29th of August and that Thursday afternoon the 10th of September. If I had to choose, the Saturday morning is cleaner, but the Thursday has more size. It’s a tough one. With the swell hitting 5ft on the 10th, that’s getting into the range where it’s not for beginners, but it’s not a beast. The short period means the waves will be a bit lumpy and weak.
Forget the rest of the forecast. It’s a flat, windy mess. Don’t get your hopes up.

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.
