The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s get real about this spot. The outlook is pretty grim for the next 16 days. We’ve got a long, flat stretch ahead.
Capo Marina is a reef setup that’s exposed to the south-west, and it’s inconsistent at the best of times. The water is sitting at a very unusual 81°, which is much warmer than normal for this time of year. The main issue is that there’s just no energy in the water. The combined swell energy barely ever gets out of single digits, peaking at a measly 105 (moderate) on Wednesday the 9th afternoon, but even then the swell is a weak 3 ft from the SSW. That afternoon has a light cross-shore wind, but it’s a complete non-event.
For the first week, you’re looking at days of flat, clean, glassy conditions with next to nothing. The best chance for a wave in the whole run is on Wednesday afternoon, September 9th. The swell bumps up to 3 ft from the SSW, with a period of only 5 seconds. That’s short-period, weak wind swell. The wind is a light cross-shore from the SE. It’s a session for the die-hard who just needs to get wet, but it’s not going to be anything to write home about.
After that, it drops back to nothing. The rest of the window is a total bust. There’s a flat spell that lasts from the 10th right through to the 19th, with only tiny, unrideable bumps of 0.3 ft to 1.0 ft. There is no standout. Nothing is on offer. The whole 16-day window is a dud for surf.
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.
