The Lowdown
Alright, let me level with you. I’m gonna be straight up – if you’re chasing a decent wave around here over the next couple of weeks, you’re in for a tough time. This is a blank run, plain and simple.
Looking at Capo Marina, a proper reef setup, but it’s classed as inconsistent and for good reason. The whole 16-day stretch is almost dead. We start off Sunday morning with a tiny 0.3ft of SW swell and that’s about as good as it gets for a while. The water is sitting at 83°, a massive 6° warmer than normal for this time of year – that’s very unusual, feels like bathwater. The combined swell energy is a measly 1, basically nothing.
From Sunday the 9th right through to late on Saturday the 23rd, there’s almost zero surf to talk about. Day after day of poor surf conditions, tiny bumps, and flat spells. There’s a long gap of nearly two weeks with nothing worth paddling out for. A few mornings offer clean conditions with light offshore or glassy winds, like the morning of Tuesday the 12th, but there’s simply no swell – you’d just be floating around.
Finally, on Sunday the 23rd, we get a tiny bump of life. Morning brings 2ft from the SSE with a short period of 5 seconds and weak energy (21). The wind is light cross-off so it’ll be clean, but it’s too small to get excited about. Monday the 24th morning sees the biggest pulse of the whole forecast: 5ft from the SSW with a period of 7 seconds. That gives a moderate combined energy of 256, and it’s clean with a light cross-off breeze. For an advanced reef break like Capo Marina, 5ft might offer a few fun ones, but the wind is cross-on in the afternoon and the quality is rated poor. It’s the best on offer, but that’s not saying much. The swell direction is SSW, which is close to the optimum of SSW, so that’s a plus.
Honestly, for such an inconsistent spot, a run this flat isn’t that unusual. Stay hopeful – forecasts can change – but for now, leave the board at home.

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.
