The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let's have a look at the outlook for Capo Marina.
Gotta be straight with you – this is a tough one. The next 16 days are looking pretty bleak for any decent waves. We’ve got a long dry spell ahead. The first real chance of anything rideable doesn't even pop up until the morning of Monday the 27th of July, and even then it's just a tiny 2ft swell from the southwest with a weak energy reading (59). The wind is light and offshore, so the surface will be clean, but the wave quality is described as "very ordinary." Not a day to get excited about.
After that whisper of hope, it falls apart again. The rest of that week and into the start of August is a ghost town – flat, with no swell to speak of. The water is incredibly warm, about 83° on the 24th, and running much warmer than normal for this time of year, but that's no consolation when there's nothing to ride.
We finally see a pulse of energy arriving on the morning of Friday the 7th of August. The swell bumps up to 3ft, also from the SSW, and the energy jumps to moderate at 118. The wind is light and cross-offshore, so conditions will be clean. This is the best on offer, but it's still only described as "surfable waves but very ordinary conditions." It's a long way out, so don't bank on it, but keep an eye on it.
Given the persistent small swell and often onshore or cross-shore winds, the setup here might be more interesting for kite surfing than paddle surfing for most of this period.
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.
