Table - best surf conditions forecast for Capo Marina over the next 16 days.
Alright, this is Rusty. Let’s break it down.
First up, we’ve got Capo Marina, a reef setup that needs a solid SSW swell. Right now, it’s dead flat. The whole first week and a half is a real drag – nothing but tiny, unrideable slop day after day. The water’s sitting at 78.1°, which is nearly 4.9° warmer than average; feels more like a bath than a surf zone. You’re looking at a long dry spell from July 8th right through to July 19th. A few mornings get glassy, but there’s absolutely no swell to work with.
Then, finally, things start to wake up. On Sunday the 19th, we see a tiny pulse, but it’s still too small. The real standout arrives on Monday the 20th. That morning, an 8.2ft SW groundswell rolls in with a period of 7 seconds, pumping the energy up to a serious 1114. The wind goes glassy, offshore from the NE – that is the window. For an advanced crew only, this is the session. The reef will handle that direction beautifully, with clean, powerful lines. It’s an inconsistent spot, so when it fires, you grab it. Expect some crowd, but it’s worth it.
That wave quality nosedives by afternoon as the wind swings onshore, and Tuesday the 21st gets messy with strong southerly winds and a stormy look. Wednesday the 22nd morning cleans back up with glassy conditions and a 4.6ft SW swell, energy at 261 – a decent follow-up, but much smaller. After that, we trail off again into tiny leftovers.
So, the call is simple: if you’re keen, you wait. The only true standout is Monday morning, July 20th. Be there.

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.
