The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what’s coming down the line for this stretch of coast.
Truth be told, we’re looking at a pretty bleak run ahead. The next two weeks are a real struggle for any decent surf. We’re talking about a long stretch of tiny, weak waves and poor conditions that just don’t want to fire. It’s one of those periods where you might as well save the wax and do something else on land.
The first real chance to even talk about a wave comes up on Saturday morning, August 1st, at Capo Marina. We’re looking at a tiny 1ft swell from the SW, but at least the wind is offshore from the NNE. The water is sitting at 82°, which is a wild 5° warmer than normal for this time of year. That’s very unusual. The combined swell energy is weak (9), so it’s not going to have any push. The wave period is a short 5 seconds, so it’ll be all wobble and no shape. It’s a reef break that’s inconsistent for a reason, and it’s only for the advanced crew. Even so, with the onshore winds due to ruin the afternoon, the morning is the only window, and it’s a marginal one at best.
After that, we’re into a real desert. The swell barely creeps up to 2ft on Thursday, August 6th, with a weak 7 second period from the SW. The combined energy is still low (31). The wind is light and glassy overnight, but the swell is just too small and weak to do anything with. It’s scratchy at best.
The rest of the outlook is a write-off. From the 7th of August onwards, the swell completely dies, and we hit a flat spell. By the 10th and 11th of August, there is literally no swell energy in the water (0). The winds turn offshore on the 10th, which is a tease, but there’s nothing to ride. This blank run is pretty normal for the area when the pattern shuts down, so don’t hold your breath.
Bottom line: There are no standouts here. The best of a bad bunch is that Saturday morning (August 1st) window at Capo Marina, but it’s a real long shot for the experts only. For everyone else, it’s a two-week flat spell.
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.
