The Lowdown
G'day, Rusty here.
Look, I'll be straight with you – this is one of those stretches where you’ve gotta be patient. The next 16 days across Capo Marina are looking pretty grim overall, with only a brief window of hope. The water's sitting at a very unusual 81°, which is much warmer than normal for this time of year, so at least you won't need a thick wetsuit.
We start out flat and poor. Friday the 28th is a write-off with risk of thunderstorms and cross-off winds, and the swell is tiny. Saturday the 29th morning is our one and only true standout. The swell picks up to 5ft from the SW with a light cross-off breeze from the E, keeping it clean. The combined energy will be moderate at 294, which is the best we’ll see. This is a reef break, so that short 6-second period means it’ll be a bit weaker and less organised than a groundswell, but for this window, it’s the best on offer. Capo Marina is inconsistent, so when it does come alive, it’s worth jumping on. The afternoon on the 29th turns cross-shore and messy, so make the most of the morning.
After that, it drops off fast. Sunday the 30th morning has a small 3ft swell and clean conditions, but it’s ordinary – you could get a wave, but it’s nothing to write home about. From Monday the 31st right through to Tuesday the 8th of September, it’s basically flat to tiny, with most days showing zero energy or just a few inches of swell. There are a lot of days there with nothing, so brace yourself for a long gap.
We get a tiny pulse on Tuesday the 8th of September morning with 3ft from the SSW, but the conditions are poor and the combined energy is only 73 – weak. The afternoon sees 4ft from the S with 100 energy, but again it’s messy with risk of storms.
The last chance appears on Saturday the 12th of September morning: a clean 2ft from the SW with a light offshore from the N. Combined energy is only 54, so it’s small and weak, but if you’re desperate, it’s the only clean option left. The afternoon fades out.
Bottom line: Saturday the 29th morning is your only real call to action. After that, it’s a long wait. For an inconsistent reef like this, a blank run like this is pretty normal. Forecasts can change, but for now, don’t hold your breath.
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.
