The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what’s cookin’.
Alright, straight up, we’ve got a long dry spell to kick things off. For the next week and more, Capo Marina is pretty much flat as a pancake. You’re looking at tiny dribbles and no real energy to get excited about. We’re talking about a serious gap of about 8 or 9 days with no real surf. It’s a bit of a bummer, but that’s how it goes sometimes.
The first real glimmer of hope doesn't show up until Wednesday, September 9th. The morning session sees a little pulse of swell arrive from the southwest, around 4 ft, with a period of 6 seconds. The wind will be light off the ENE, so conditions should be clean. The combined energy is still weak (72), so don’t expect much push, but it’s better than nothing.
The standout, and honestly the only real window of quality, arrives on Wednesday afternoon, September 9th. The swell jumps up to a proper 7 ft from the southwest, with a period of 7 seconds. The combined energy hits a strong 760, so there's some real power behind it. Now, at 7 ft, this is expert territory – too big for beginners. The wind will be a light cross-onshore from the SSE, which keeps it from being perfect, but it’s the best we’ve got on the books. Only for the experienced crew.
After that little burst, it drops right back off again into tiny dribble for the rest of the outlook. That one afternoon on the 9th is your best bet.
Oh, and if you’re heading to Capo Marina, the water is running much warmer than normal for this time of year, sitting at 81°. That’s a nice surprise.
So, there you have it. A long flat spell, one decent pulse for the experts on the 9th of September, and then back to the small stuff. Keep your eyes on the charts.
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.
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.
