The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here again. Let’s look at Capo Marina in feet, because that’s how we measure it.
It’s a grim picture, folks. This reef is starved for swell. For the first week, from Monday the 24th through Friday the 28th, it’s flat as a pancake. The swell energy is pathetic, in the single digits (2–42). The water temperature at the start is 81°F, which is a massive 6°F warmer than usual – that’s a very unusual anomaly.
The only day that even looks like it might cough up a wave is Saturday the 29th. The morning has a pulse of 4ft SSW swell with a 7-second period, and a clean offshore N wind at 15 km/h. The combined energy hits 147 (moderate), so there’s something there. But it’s inconsistent and that short period means weak waves. The afternoon turns to crap with a cross-onshore wind.
After that, it’s a long, dead run. Sunday the 30th has a tiny leftover 2ft, and from Monday the 31st through to the 8th of September it’s basically flat, with days of zero energy. You’ll see a glassy moment on the afternoon of the 7th, but with a 0.3ft swell, you’re just floating.
So, the best of a bad bunch? Saturday morning the 29th. It’s the only window. Past that, I wouldn’t even bother waxing the board.
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.
