The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s be straight with you – this outlook is a tough one for the Capo Marina area. The finder is pulling up a whole lot of nothing for the entire 16-day window. Every single surf session is rated as poor surf conditions, so there’s no standout day, no moment to get excited about. We’re looking at a blank run from the start on Monday, August 3rd, all the way through to Tuesday, August 18th. That’s a solid two and a half weeks with no recommendations. For this area, a drought like this is more normal than you’d hope – sometimes the swell just doesn’t line up. The water temp is sitting at 82.4°, which is a solid 5.6° warmer than usual – that’s very unusual, bathwater stuff.
Capo Marina is a tricky reef break that’s inconsistent and only for advanced surfers. It needs a proper SSW groundswell to work its magic, and we just aren’t getting it. The best we see is a tiny 1.3ft from the SE on Tuesday morning, August 4th, but with a period of only 4 seconds, that’s pure wind chop. The combined energy is a measly 4 (weak energy), so you’re not getting any push. The wind is glassy that morning, which is a positive, but there’s simply no wave to ride. Later in the run, on Saturday morning, August 8th, we get a tiny 0.7ft from the WSW with a clean offshore wind from the N, but the energy is only 10 (weak energy). You’d be floating around waiting for a ripple. For the advanced crew, there’s nothing here. The setup is far more interesting for kite surfers, with the significant cross-shore winds and lack of any real swell. Honestly, save your wax and wait for a proper groundswell.

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.
