The Lowdown

Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s get straight into it. We’ve got a pretty bleak stretch ahead for the Capo Marina area. The first recommendation... well, there isn’t one for a long time. The first solid surf potential doesn’t arrive until the afternoon of Monday, the 24th of August. That’s a solid gap of over a week of flat or poor conditions to sit through.

The first sign of life comes on Monday the 24th afternoon. The wind goes glassy, and the swell picks up to 7ft from the SW with a period of 7 seconds. The combined energy will be pumping at 562 – that’s some serious ocean energy. The conditions are described as glassy, so expect clean, lined-up waves. This is a reef break, and that period is in the mid-range, so it should hold shape well. But keep in mind, this break is inconsistent and for advanced surfers only. At 7ft, this is no place for a beginner. The wind is offshore from the W, which is a major positive for the faces. The optimum swell direction is SSW, so this SW swell is slightly off that, but still good. It’s a Monday afternoon, so crowds could be a thing, but it might be manageable.

Before that, we have a few mornings with small, weak pulses. For example, Tuesday the 18th in the morning has a 2ft SSW swell with a clean offshore wind, but the energy is weak at 51. It’s surfable, but “very ordinary” is the call. Not worth getting excited about.

The water temperature is about average for the time of year, nothing unusual to report for the area.

So, the stand-out window is really the afternoon of the 24th. That’s your best bet. After that, it drops back down to tiny, weak waves for the rest of the week. The 25th through to the 31st offer nothing but tiny, poor-conditions slop with very low energy, mostly under 20.

To sum it up: you’re waiting until the 24th of August for a brief window of proper, clean, glassy swell at 7ft. It’s the only real event on the books. The rest of the 16 days is a desert.

Rusty, signing off.

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.
