The Lowdown
Alright, let’s talk about the next couple of weeks for this spot. To be straight with you, it’s looking pretty flat and quiet for the most part. The first proper window of surf is a long way off, and even then, it’s nothing to write home about.
Right now, and for the next several days, we’ve got almost nothing. The wave energy is basically zero, with readings like 0 to 3 (combined energy). It’s a real dead spell. There’s a little bump on Thursday the 17th, but it’s just a modest 3 ft from the S at 6 seconds, with a cross-onshore breeze and risk of thunderstorms. That’s going to be messy and not worth paddling out for – the swell energy is only 107 (moderate), but the wind and conditions are poor.
After that, it goes back to flat again until around Tuesday the 22nd. That’s when we finally see a pulse of 1 ft to 2 ft from the SSW, with a period of just 5 seconds. The wind is cross-offshore from the N and NW, keeping things clean, but the swell is weak – combined energy sits at just 8 to 26. Still, it’s the best we’ve got in the whole window. If you’re desperate for a slide, that Tuesday afternoon might offer the cleanest little waves.
Wednesday the 23rd drops right back off, and the end of the fortnight is dead again.
So, the standout – and honestly, the only real option – is Capo Marina on the 22nd of September, Tuesday afternoon. Expect a weak 2 ft SSW swell, clean under a cross-offshore NW breeze. It’s an advanced reef break, but it’s inconsistent, and there might be a few people out. The water is about average for this time of year – nothing unusual there.
Aside from that, there’s just a long stretch of flatness. Not much to get excited about. Hang in there.

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.
