The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what’s on the cards for our little corner of the coast.
Truth is, mate, it’s a pretty grim stretch ahead. We’re looking at a long, flat spell with barely a ripple for the best part of two weeks. The only real glimmer of hope pops up right at the end of the first week, but even then it’s nothing to write home about. For the vast majority of this 16-day window, there’s just no swell to speak of.
We start off with a total dud. From Thursday the 3rd right through to Tuesday the 8th, it’s all flat. Nada. Zero wave energy. You’d be better off cleaning the wax off your board or checking the fishing reports. That’s a solid five-day gap with nothing.
Then, on Wednesday the 9th, we finally get a pulse. Capo Marina shows a tiny 2ft swell from the S, with a period of 6 seconds. The combined wave energy is a weak 68 – barely a bump. Still, we get a glassy morning with a risk of thunderstorms, so it might be clean for a couple of hours. It’s surfable, but only just. You won’t need anything bigger than a foamy or a longboard. After that, it’s straight back to flat again from Thursday the 10th onwards, with only tiny scraps of around 0.3ft to 1ft showing up here and there.
Honestly, the whole 16-day run is a write-off. There are no standouts. There’s no proper swell, no direction that lines up with what Capo Marina wants (SSW optimum), and the energy is just pathetic. If you’re desperate for a paddle, the Wednesday 9th morning is your only ticket, but don’t expect 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.
