The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what’s cooking for our local stretch.
To be straight with you, the next two weeks are looking pretty flat. We’ve got a real dry spell on the horizon. From now through the 16th of August, there’s not a single session that’s going to get the heart pumping. The first real chance of anything rideable is a long way off, and it’s a slim one. We’re talking about a gap of about 9 days with basically nothing on the table.
The only spot on the menu is Capo Marina, a reef setup that’s for advanced crew only and inconsistent at best. It’s exposed to SSW swell, which is what we need.
The water is a scorching 82°F right now, which is a massive 5°F warmer than usual for this time of year. That’s very unusual, and it’s going to feel like a bath.
Let’s run through the highlights, or lack thereof. The first few days are dead. We’re looking at August 1st with a tiny 1ft SSW swell, cross-on wind, and combined energy of just 10 – that’s barely a ripple. Forget it. The 2nd of August has a cleaner morning with offshore wind, but the swell is only 2ft and the energy is a weak 29. Not enough to push you around.
The whole first week is a write-off. We see a few mornings with glassy conditions, like on the 4th and 5th, but the swell is literally 0.7ft to 0.3ft. You’d be floating around on a pool toy.
The only flicker of life comes late in the window. On the morning of August 10th, we finally see a pulse of energy – 60, which is still weak, but it’s something. The swell is 2ft from the SSW with an 8-second period, but the wind is cross-on and there’s a risk of thunderstorms. The surf is still described as poor. It’s not a goer.
The afternoon of the 10th is similar with 1ft and energy dropping to 38. The 11th has a cleaner cross-off wind, but the swell is back down to 0.7ft. There’s nothing here that’s worth paddling out for.
The entire 16-day outlook is a bust. There are no standouts, no best days, no hidden gems. The energy levels never even crack into the moderate range. It’s just one long, flat, quiet period. For a spot like Capo Marina that’s already inconsistent, a blank run like this is pretty normal for the area. Don’t bother waxing up just yet. Forecasts can change, but right now, we’re in a drought.
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.
