The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here again. Let's break down what's coming up in feet and knots.
It's a slow start – a real dry spell. We're looking at a long stretch of nothing worth paddling out for until the 24th of July. The water is a balmy 81°F, which is a huge 7°F warmer than normal for this time of year. That's seriously unusual.
The first flicker of life hits on the morning of Saturday the 25th. Capo Marina (reef) is looking at a tiny 4ft swell from the southeast, but with glassy conditions. The energy is weak (116), but it'll be clean for a few small waves.
Things get a bit more interesting on the afternoon of Sunday the 26th. The swell jumps to 5ft from the SSW and the energy is moderate (252). That's a good size, but the wind is messy and there's a chance of thunderstorms. Definitely for the experienced surfers only.
The best bet of the whole two weeks is the morning of Tuesday, July 28th. Capo Marina will have a clean 3ft swell from the SSW with a 7-second period. The wind is light offshore, so the face will be smooth. The energy is moderate (127). This is the one to aim for. Just remember that when it's clean, the crowds can be a problem, so don't sleep in.
After that, it fades back into tiny, average conditions. The 28th is your window. Beginners should give the 26th afternoon a miss – it’ll be too much.
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.
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.
