The Lowdown
Alright, let’s get real about the next couple of weeks. I’ve been staring at the charts all morning, and honestly, it’s a bit of a tough stretch for us at Capo Marina. The swell window looks like it’s closing up, and we’re not going to see much of anything rideable for a while.
The next week is basically a write-off. From the 9th through to the 17th, we’ve got nothing but tiny leftovers and flat spells. There’s a bit of a pulse on the 11th with a 1ft SW windswell, but the period is only 5 seconds, so it’s going to be gutless and messy. The water is warm, though – 83°F – which is about 6°F warmer than normal for this time of year. That’s a real standout, but it’s not going to make the waves any better. We’ve got a few clean mornings with light offshore winds, but with no swell, it’s just a glassy pond. The 16th and 17th have some glassy conditions, but still nothing to surf.
Now, the first real glimmer of hope comes on Monday, the 18th of August. Early morning, we finally see a little push. It’s only 2ft of SW swell with a 6-second period, and the combined energy is a weak 23. It’s not going to be epic, but it’s something. The wind is light and cross-offshore in the morning, so it might be clean and fun for a log if you’re desperate. The afternoon gets a bit choppier with a cross-onshore breeze, so get on it early.
After that, it just fades away again. The 19th and 20th are back down to tiny, weak 0.7ft dribbles. The 21st brings a risk of thunderstorms and blown-out conditions, so that’s a good day to stay home. The 22nd is flat again.
The last day in the window, Sunday the 24th, gives us one more whisper of hope. The morning is glassy with a light 1ft SW swell, and by the afternoon, the wind drops to almost nothing – calm, with a 1ft SW swell. The energy is still weak, only 6, and the period is a short 5 seconds. It’s going to be soft and slow, but it might be ridable on the high tide for a few close-outs. Don’t get your hopes up too much.
So, overall, the best of a bad bunch is the morning of the 18th and maybe the afternoon of the 24th. But honestly, mark this stretch down as a maintenance week. The boards stay in the car, but the wax might not even need to come out. It’s a real bummer, but that’s the way it goes sometimes. The long-range stuff is looking a bit more promising, but we’ll have to wait and see.
Stay tuned, and keep the faith.

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.
