The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what’s on the cards for the next couple of weeks.
Right off the bat, I gotta be straight with you – this is gonna be a tough stretch. We’re looking at a long, dry gap before anything even worth paddling out for shows up. The first surfable day isn't until the 22nd of August, a Saturday morning. That’s nearly two weeks of flat or completely useless conditions before we get a sniff of a wave.
The only spot that’s even on the radar is Capo Marina, a reef setup that’s inconsistent and only really comes alive for the advanced crew. It’s not a spot for beginners at the best of times, and the wait here is brutal.
The water is sitting at a very unusual 83°, which is about 7° warmer than normal for this time of year – that’s a big deal, that’s way warmer than we’re used to.
The first real chance you get is Saturday the 22nd in the morning. We’ll see a small, clean SSW swell rolling in at around 2ft, with a period of 6 seconds. The energy is still weak, only clocking in at 48, but at least the wind is a light offshore from the NE. It’ll be clean, but it’s tiny and the break is inconsistent, so don't expect a lot of waves. That morning window is the absolute best we’ve got, and it’s not saying much.
The afternoon of the 22nd the wind swings onshore from the SE and the swell drops right off again. That’s it. That’s the whole show.
Honestly, for a spot that rarely breaks and is only for experts, you’d be waiting a long time for a wave that’s barely knee-high. The forecast can always change, but right now, this is a long dry spell with only one very small, brief window of hope.
Stay patient,
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.
