The Lowdown
Alright, mates, Rusty here with the outlook for Capo Marina. We've got a mixed bag ahead, so let's break it down.
Right off the bat, the water is cooking at 82°, which is a whopping 8° warmer than usual for this time of year. That's very unusual, so you'll be surfing in bathwater.
The first real chance to get wet will be on Monday the 31st, but honestly, it's not worth paddling out. We've got a tiny 1.0ft SSW swell, and with a cross-onshore breeze, it's just choppy and messy.
Tuesday the 1st of September is where we finally see a pulse of life. The morning session is your best bet this whole week. We're looking at a clean 3ft SSW groundswell with a period of 6 seconds, rolling in with a light offshore wind from the NNE. The wave energy is weak, only registering 87, but for a reef break, that offshore breeze will make for some lined-up, glassy walls. This is the standout for the near term, but Capo Marina is an inconsistent spot, so catching it right is key.
The rest of the first week is brutally quiet. From Wednesday the 2nd right through to Monday the 8th, we're looking at flat spells or waves that are just too small to ride, with energy readings barely hitting single digits. You'll see some glassy mornings and offshore breezes, but without swell, it's just a lake.
We get another tiny window on Wednesday the 9th. The morning shows a 3ft SSW swell with a period of 6 seconds and a glassy wind, giving us weak but clean conditions (energy of 60). It's surfable, but nothing to get excited about.
The second week is more of the same. A few ripples of energy pop up on the 11th of September, with a 2ft SW swell and a period of 8 seconds. The morning has a clean cross-offshore wind, but the wave energy is still moderate at 57. It's a poor outlook overall for this spot.
Bottom line: For a reef that needs a solid push from the SSW, we're just not getting the juice. The only real session to consider is Tuesday morning, September 1st. After that, it's a long, flat run with no good surf on offer for the rest of the 16-day window.
Stay tuned, forecasts can change, but for now, this is a drought.

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.
