The Lowdown
G’day, Rusty here. Look, I’m going to be straight with you: the next couple of weeks are a write-off for any real surf at Capo Marina. We’ve got a long stretch of flat, weak, and messy conditions ahead. The swell energy is just about non-existent for the first week, and even when we see a pulse, the winds and periods are all wrong. It’s a proper doldrum spell.
The first real chance of anything rideable doesn’t show up until Tuesday the 25th, and even then, it’s nothing to get overly excited about. We finally see some push with a 4.9ft SSW swell, but the wind is blowing onshore from the SSE, and it’s going to be choppy and junky. The energy is moderate at 259, but with a short 6-second period, it’s just not going to have any push or shape. Wednesday the 26th morning cleans up with a light offshore NNE breeze and a 3.9ft SSW swell, but the period is still a weak 7 seconds. The energy is moderate at 125, but it’s a short-period wind swell—it’ll be peaky and close out. This is the only window that scores a “surfable” rating in the whole stretch, but it’s a low bar.
After that, the energy fades again pretty quickly. Thursday the 27th has a slightly longer period of 9 seconds, but the swell drops to 2.3ft, and it’s clean, but just not enough to be worth the paddle.
The water is a swimmer’s dream though. At 83.3°F, it’s a whopping 6.5°F warmer than normal for this time of year, which is really unusual. It’s like bathwater out there, but it doesn’t help the waves.
So, the long and short of it: no standouts, no hidden gems. Just a flat, frustrating fortnight. If you’re a beginner, you might find a dribble on the morning of the 26th, but honestly, I’d be looking at other hobbies for a while. The whole setup, with the onshore winds and weak swell, looks more interesting for a kite surfer than a paddle surfer on that Tuesday the 25th. That’s about it. Keep the board waxed and wait for the next proper groundswell.

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.
