The Lowdown
Rusty here. Let's run it down. The forecast is thin – I mean, really thin.
From right now, you’re looking at a long drought of poor surf. Day after day of tiny, flat, or trash waves. It’s going to be a test of patience.
The only window with any real hope comes on Tuesday, September 22, at Capo Marina, a reef that’s tricky and doesn’t work often. The morning sees some life: combined wave energy is moderate (114). Swell runs 4 ft from the southeast, with a short period of 6 seconds. Wind is from the north-northwest at 12 mph, blowing cross-offshore, so it should hold clean. That water temp? 81°, which is 9° warmer than the usual – that is a wild anomaly.
This is for advanced folk only because of the reef. The swell direction is SE, but this break works best from SSW, so the quality might be compromised. Still, Tuesday morning is the standout. By afternoon, it’s down to 2 ft and the energy is gone. After that, Wednesday the 23rd drifts back to flat. That’s it for the whole run.
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.
