The Lowdown
Alright, let's get into it. Rusty here, looking at what we've got on the table for the next couple of weeks.
Honestly, it’s a grim stretch ahead. We're looking at a solid run of flat or near-flat conditions for the next ten days or so. The only real spot on the cards is Capo Marina, but don’t get your hopes up. This is a tricky, advanced reef break that’s *inconsistent* at the best of times, and right now it’s barely ticking over.
For the first week, from the 14th right through to the 20th, it’s mostly tiny dribble. You’ll see the odd 0.3ft to 2ft pulse from the south and southwest, but the combined wave energy is pathetic – we’re talking single digits to maybe 27 (27) on the Thursday. The wind is a mixed bag too; there are some clean, light offshore mornings from the north, but the swell just isn’t there to back it up. It’s not going to be worth paddling out for anyone who wants a proper wave. The 18th of September morning shows the biggest pulse of the week, hitting 5ft from the southwest with a short period of 7 seconds and moderate energy (350). But it’s still rated as marginal, so even then it’s a gamble.
After the 21st, we’re looking at a real flat spell. From Monday the 21st through to the 24th morning, the energy drops to zero. Nothing. Nada. It’s a blank wall of water.
There is a tiny flicker of life on the morning of the 24th of September, with a 2ft southwest groundswell and clean north winds, but again, the energy is only 13 (13). The 25th of September afternoon looks glassy with a 1ft wave from the southeast, but it’s just not enough to get excited about.
The standout – and I use that term lightly – is the morning of the 18th of September. That 5ft southwest swell is the biggest we see all period, and with light cross-shore winds, it’s the closest we get to a proper session. But even then, for a reef break, that size and short period can make it tricky. It’s an advanced wave for a reason, so if you’re not confident, give it a miss.
Bottom line: for the next two weeks, Capo Marina is not the place to be. You’re better off waiting for the next proper system to roll in.
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.
