Alright, let’s get into it. Look, I gotta be straight with you – the next couple of weeks at Capo Marina are looking pretty flat, especially for a spot that’s picky like this one. This is a reef break that’s inconsistent at the best of times, and it needs a specific SSW swell to really wake up. We’re just not seeing that.
Right now through the start of next week, we’ve got nada. Tiny dribbles of swell that won't even get you to your feet. The water is sitting at a balmy 77°, which is about 4° warmer than usual for this time of year – that’s a real standout, the water’s feeling like a bath. But there’s no surf to enjoy it in. There’s a big gap here with no recommendations for days.
We finally see a pulse try to build around Monday, July 21st. The morning shows a 4ft swell from the SW with a period of 7 seconds and moderate wave energy (160). That’s the biggest we get, but the wind is cross-shore and we get a risk of thunderstorms, so the quality is going to be poor – it won't be clean. That one’s a pass for me.
The most promising window actually looks like early on Tuesday, July 22nd. We get a 2ft swell from the SW, period of 7 seconds, with light offshore winds from the NNE. That wind direction is perfect for Capo Marina, glassing it right up. The combined energy is low (54), so it’s not going to be pumping, but it’s our only window where the conditions line up for a clean, if small, session. This break can get crowded sometimes, but on a tiny day like that, you might have it to yourself. The short period means it’ll be a bit weak and crumbly, but hey, it’s surfable.
After that, it’s back to nothing. A blank run. For an inconsistent spot like this, that’s not unusual. Forecasts can change, but as it stands, July 22nd morning is your best and really only bet.

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.
