The Lowdown
G’day, it’s Rusty here.
Let’s get right to it: the next week and a half is looking pretty bleak around Capo Marina. The ocean’s got almost no energy, and it’s a whole lot of nothing. The first real sign of life is on Tuesday the 25th, but before that, we’ve got a long stretch of flatness to get through.
The standout window is that Tuesday afternoon. A solid pulse of SSW swell pushes in at 8ft, with an 8-second period, and the energy is a strong 1296. Glassy, nearly windless conditions will have Capo Marina (Capo-Marina) looking proper. This is the pick of the whole run—a quality, powerful reef wave. It’s an advanced break, and at this size, it’s only for experienced surfers. It’s inconsistent, so you’ll be waiting for sets, but the ones that come through will be worth it. The water’s a very unusual 84°—that’s more than three degrees above average for this time of year, so ditch the wetsuit.
Tuesday morning is a bit smaller at 8ft, but the NNE wind is offshore, so it’s still clean. A solid option, but the afternoon is the main event.
Before that, there’s nothing. Days of 1ft to 2ft slop, mostly onshore and choppy. The period is short, under 8 seconds, so it’s weak and messy. The energy readings are mostly in the single digits and teens. The 20th and 21st have a bit more size at 4ft and 5ft, but the wind is cross-shore and the energy is only moderate at 200 and 226. Marginal at best.
After the 25th, it fades fast. The 26th is onshore junk, and then we’re back to flatness.
So, keep your stick in the car for Tuesday the 25th afternoon. That’s the one. Everything else is a beach day.
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.
