The Lowdown
Alright, let's get into it. Rusty here.
To be straight with you, the outlook for Capo Marina over the next 16 days is a real snoozer for the most part. From the start of September straight through to the 14th, it's a total flat spell. You're looking at nearly two weeks of nothing worth paddling out for.
The whole show changes on the 15th of September. Tuesday morning finally brings a pulse we can talk about: a 3ft swell from the southwest, with a period of 9 seconds. The energy finally kicks in at (127), and it’s clean with a light cross-offshore wind. The afternoon gets even better, turning glassy. This is the best we've got, the true standout of the whole forecast. It's still small, but it's the only real opportunity. Wednesday the 16th also offers a clean morning with a 2ft swell from the southwest, but that’s about the end of it.
Keep in mind, Capo Marina is a reef break that's for advanced surfers and is inconsistent, so you need to know when you're out there. Also, the water is way warmer than normal for this time of year, sitting at 27°C, which is about 4° above average. That's very unusual.
So, mark your calendar for the 15th and 16th of September. It’s not a massive swell, but it’s the best we've got.

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.
