The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Gotta be straight with you – the next couple of weeks are looking pretty flat for Capo Marina. This is a real high-performance reef set-up, but it needs a proper SSW swell to get going, and right now, there’s just nothing doing for a long stretch.
We’re looking at a massive gap in the action. From now through the end of July and right into the first week of August, it’s a total bust. The water is about average for the time of year, but the waves are tiny. We’re talking knee-high dribble at best, with combined swell energy barely registering (8) on the first Tuesday morning. There’s a bit of a glassy moment on the morning of Thursday the 30th, but with only 0.3ft of swell, it’s a lake.
The wait continues right through the first week of August. It’s a long run of days with no surf at all, or just the smallest of pulses. The morning of Saturday the 1st of August might have a glassy surface, but it’s still only 1ft of weak SW swell. The combined energy is a measly (6). It’s a real test of patience.
The first real sign of life doesn’t show up until Saturday the 8th of August. The morning brings a clean, cross-off wind and a bump in swell to 4ft from the SSW. The combined energy jumps to (147) – finally, some moderate power. But the rating is still poor, so it’s nothing to get excited about yet.
Now, the one to circle on your calendar is Sunday the 9th of August. The morning looks like the stand-out. We’ve got a 4ft SSW groundswell, with a period of 7 seconds, and the wind is glassy – dead calm. The combined energy is a solid (217), making it the strongest push of the whole forecast. This is a reef break, so that longer period will really wrap in and give you some proper shape. The only downside is the crowds are a possibility, but for a Sunday morning with clean conditions, it’s the best on offer. The afternoon gets messy with a cross-onshore wind, so get your session in early.
The morning of Tuesday the 11th of August also has a touch of potential with 4ft of SSW swell and a clean cross-off breeze. Combined energy (181) is decent, but it’s not quite as clean as the Sunday morning glass-off.
So, the story is a long, flat spell, then a decent shot on Sunday the 9th of August. That’s your one bright spot.
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.
