The Lowdown
Alright, let's talk about Capo Marina. Over the next 16 days we’ve got a long dry spell of flat, rough conditions at the start, so don’t rush. It’s not until we get into the tail end of the week that a little pulse of energy shows up.
Thursday the 20th is the first real glimmer. Morning brings a small, clean 3-foot swell from the SSW with a 6-second period. The wind is light offshore from the ESE and the surface is glassy. Wave energy is weak at 57, but for this reef spot, having conditions that clean is a gift. It’s a break for advanced surfers, and you might run into a few others out there.
Next is Tuesday the 25th. The morning delivers about 4-foot waves from the SSW, period still 6 seconds, with clean cross-offshore wind. Energy bumps up to 95 — still weak, but more consistent. That afternoon, a bigger pulse hits: 6-foot from the SW, 7-second period, and moderate energy of 362. The problem is the wind swings cross-onshore and makes it fairly choppy. That’s expert territory at that size, and it won’t be pretty.
Wednesday the 26th morning offers another shot: 4-foot from the SW, 8-second period, 159 energy, and a clean offshore wind from the NNE. The longer period gives the waves a little more push and shape.
The rest of the 16 days is tiny — most swells under 2 feet, or blown out by onshore wind. Saturday the 29th morning has glassy 2-foot waves, but not enough to call it a session.
The honest word is: the best of a bad lot are the mornings of the 20th, 25th, and 26th. The 20th wins for quality but lacks size; the other two have more punch but risk of wind. After that, the first of September goes flat again.
It’s a quiet stretch. Keep an eye on the sky and your board close by. Things can change.

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.
