The Lowdown
Alright boys and girls, let’s break down Capo Marina. This is an advanced reef break that’s hit‑or‑miss, and when it does fire it needs a proper SSW swell with NNE offshore winds. Over the next 16 days, I’m sorry to say it’s mostly flat and frustrating. There’s one short window that might give you a few waves, but you’ll have to be keen.
The only real chance is Monday, July 27th, early morning. We’ve got a light NE breeze blowing offshore at 3 mph, keeping the surface glassy. Swell is a tiny 3 ft from the SSW – exactly the right direction for this spot – with a period of just 6 seconds. The combined energy is only 82, so it’s weak, but enough to produce a few small, rideable waves. Expect very ordinary conditions, but it’s the best we’ve got. This break is inconsistent, so don’t count on a steady lineup, and with crowds listed as “sometimes,” you might see a few others. It’s a reef for advanced surfers only – the small size might make it manageable, but the rocks are always a hazard.
After that Monday morning, it’s a long, dry spell. Monday afternoon turns onshore and messy. From Tuesday, July 28th, all the way through to Saturday, August 8th, the swell drops to nothing or near nothing. Even with occasional glassy or offshore winds, there’s simply no wave energy. The last few days show some wind picking up, but it’s cross-onshore and flat. So you’ve got one tiny window on July 27th morning, then a solid 12 days of nothing. That’s the reality here – when it’s inconsistent, it can be a real bummer.
Stay sharp, watch the rocks, and don’t get your hopes up for the rest of the month.

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.
