The Lowdown
Alright, this is Rusty, and I’ve got the outlook for your next couple of weeks around Capo Marina.
Right off the bat, things are looking pretty flat and uninspired. The first solid week is a write-off for any real surf action. There’s a long dry spell here where nothing worth paddling out for shows up. Honestly, we’re not seeing any standout days until we push further into the forecast. The small amount of energy that does arrive is weak, with combined swell energy barely hitting double digits most of the time – we’re talking values like 1 or 3 in the early days, which is nothing to get excited about.
The water temp is a big talking point though – it’s sitting at 81°F, which is a massive 6°F warmer than usual for this time of year. That’s really unusual, and it’ll feel like you’re surfing in bathwater, even if the waves aren't cooperating.
The first glimmer of hope comes on Saturday the 29th during the morning. We finally see some swell showing up from the SSW at about 4ft, with a period of 6 seconds, and the combined energy jumps to 114 – finally a moderate reading. The wind is light and cross-offshore from the east, so it’ll be clean. The forecast calls it “surfable but very ordinary,” and I’d agree. It’s not a standout by any stretch, but it’s the best we’ve got in this whole run.
The Sunday morning after that, the 30th, has a similar story – a bit smaller at 3ft from the SSW, and clean with a NE breeze, but again, nothing to write home about. The energy drops back to 64.
Then it all goes flat again. For several days after that, we’re looking at tiny bumps or flatness until we get to the 7th of September. That Monday morning shows another pulse from the SSW at 1ft with a 5-second period and combined energy of 11, with clean offshore north wind. But it’s just too small to get excited over. The same story follows for the 8th.
Honestly, if you’re an advanced surfer chasing this reef break, you’re going to be frustrated. The swell direction (SSW) matches the optimum, and the offshore wind windows are there, but the size and consistency just aren’t cooperating. There’s no single day I’d call a true standout. If you really need a paddle, the Saturday the 29th morning is your best bet – but keep your expectations low. This stretch is a tough one.
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.
