The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. I’ve had a good look at the charts for Capo Marina over the next 16 days, and I’ve got to be straight with you – there’s basically nothing happening. Not a single decent wave in the whole window. The forecast shows poor conditions right through from July 15th all the way to July 30th. Every session gets a big fat zero from me.
Capo Marina is a reef break, advanced only, and it’s inconsistent at the best of times. It needs a decent SSW swell to light up, but the combined wave energy never even reaches 40 – the highest I see is 39 on the morning of Sunday the 19th, with a weak 2ft SSW swell at 6 seconds. That’s barely a ripple. Most days the energy is in the single digits or even zero. The winds do swing offshore (NNE) or glassy at times, like on the mornings of the 27th and 30th, but with no swell to work with, clean conditions don’t mean a thing.
Water temperature is sitting at 82°F, which is a whopping 7° above average for this time of year. That’s very unusual – it’s almost like bath water, but it won’t help the surf.
This kind of blank run isn’t shocking for an inconsistent spot like Capo Marina. It just doesn’t fire often. If you’re dead set on a paddle, you’d be waiting for a proper SSW groundswell, but there’s none in sight. Frankly, it’s more a spot to enjoy the sun than to surf right now.

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.
