The Lowdown
Alright, this is Rusty. Let's give you the straight story.
We’re looking at a pretty grim stretch ahead for Capo Marina. The first week and a half is basically a write-off. There's a long gap of nothing but tiny, weak waves with poor conditions stretching from now right through until the morning of Saturday, August 29th. If you’re itching to paddle out, you’ll have to wait.
The first real sign of life shows up on the morning of Saturday, August 29th. Capo Marina is a reef break that's inconsistent, so it takes a specific swell to light it up. We finally get a push of 6ft SW groundswell, with a period of 6 seconds, and the combined energy hits 389. That’s a solid pulse of energy. Better yet, the wind is a light offshore breeze from the NE, meaning the lineup should be clean. The water is a very warm 81.3°, which is much warmer than usual for this time of year. This is your one standout window in the whole 16-day run. The swell is pushing past 5ft, so it’s getting a bit too big for total beginners, but it’s a good size for anyone else. Expect it to be a bit of a session, and because it’s inconsistent, you’ll have to be patient between sets, but the quality will be there. Crowds are possible.
Sunday, the 30th, still has some leftover swell from the SSW at 3.6ft with a clean offshore wind in the morning. The energy is down to 149, but it’s still surfable. After that, the energy drops off completely, and we’re back to flat, tiny conditions for the rest of the window. The morning of Monday, September 7th shows a tiny 1.6ft SSE swell with a long 8 second period and glassy conditions, but the energy is weak at 34. It’s not enough to get excited about.
So, the takeaway: if you want a wave, your only real shot is the morning of Saturday, August 29th. That’s the one.

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.
