The Lowdown
G’day, Rusty here. Let’s be straight with you – the next couple of weeks are a tough watch for surf around Capo Marina. We’re looking at a long stretch of flat or tiny waves, so don’t get your hopes up. There’s really nothing worth paddling out for until maybe Thursday the 17th, and even then it’s a gamble. Let’s run through it.
Right now, Sunday the 13th, it’s flat – barely a ripple. A tiny 0.3ft swell from the SW with a short period of 4 seconds, and the combined energy is just a measly 2. That’s nothing. Monday the 14th and Tuesday the 15th are the same story: 0.3ft, weak energy, no push. Wednesday the 16th edges up to 0.7ft – still useless. The water’s sitting at 81°F, which is a whopping 9°F warmer than normal for this time of year – that’s really unusual, feels like bath water.
Now, Thursday the 17th sees a little bump. We get 2ft in the morning from the S, period 5 seconds, with a combined energy of 17 – still weak. By the afternoon it builds to 3ft from the SSW, period 6 seconds, and the energy climbs to 118 (moderate). Wind’s cross-shore from the ESE at 6 mph, so it won’t be glassy but it’s not awful. Still, 3ft with that short period is messy and weak – not a standout, just a hint of life. Friday the 18th drops back to 1.0ft, so that’s it.
From Saturday the 20th through to Monday the 28th, it’s almost entirely flat – no swell, zero energy. A few days show a 0.3ft blip but nothing rideable. There’s a solid 10-day gap of nothing worthwhile.
The only break in the mix here is Capo Marina – a reef setup that’s inconsistent and rarely breaks, so this kind of dry spell is pretty normal. It’s an advanced spot when it works, with an optimum swell from the SSW, but that’s not showing up in any meaningful way. If you’re desperate, the best shot is the afternoon of Thursday the 17th – 3ft SSW swell, light cross-shore wind – but don’t expect much. For beginners, this is way too small and weak anyway.
Bottom line: there’s no good surf on offer across the whole 16-day window. Capo Marina is a rare-break spot, and right now it’s just not cooperating. Keep an eye on the charts – 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.
