The Lowdown
Alright. Gotta be honest with you. The outlook for Capo Marina over the next couple weeks is, well, pretty bleak. We're looking at a stretch where you’ll be lucky to get a single decent wave. Over the first ten days, from the 16th right through to the 25th, the swell is either non-existent or so tiny and weak it’s not worth paddling out for. There are days with zero wave energy, and even when a bit of a bump shows, the combined energy rarely cracks double digits – we’re talking a weak 10 or 17 – and the wave comment is almost always ‘poor surf conditions’.
The first morning that actually offers anything surfable comes Sunday the 19th. Capo Marina is a reef break that's inconsistent, and it likes a SSW swell. That morning we get a 3 ft SSW swell with a period of 6 seconds, giving a combined energy of 49. The wind is a cross-offshore 9 mph from the NNW, so it’ll be clean. The report says "surfable waves but very ordinary conditions." Honestly, for this break and this stretch, that’s the pick of the entire forecast. It’s tiny, weak, short-period stuff, but it’s something. It’s an advanced wave, and crowds are sometimes a thing here, so don’t expect to be totally alone.
After that, the next blip that’s worth mentioning doesn’t come until Wednesday the 29th. That morning we get a 3 ft swell from the SSE with a 6-second period, and combined energy of 57. The wind is a cross-offshore 6 mph from the ENE, keeping it clean. Again, "surfable but very ordinary." It’s still small, but the energy is a bit heartier than the rest.
That's the lot, mate. A couple of mornings in a 16-day run that are barely surfable. It's a dry spell. The water temp situation is run-of-the-mill for this time of year, nothing weird going on 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.
