The Lowdown
G’day, Rusty here. Look, I’ll be straight with you—this stretch ahead is a bit of a bummer. The next sixteen days are looking flat and underwhelming for Capo Marina. We’ve got a long gap of weak to non-existent surf, so don’t get your hopes up for any solid sessions.
The only real pulse in the whole window shows up on Thursday the 17th, but it’s a tease. Thursday morning brings a weak 2ft southerly swell with a short period of 5 seconds, and the wind is cross-shore, making it messy. Combined wave energy is a feeble 13 – barely enough to push a floater. The afternoon perks up slightly with a 3ft SSW swell, period still 5 seconds, and a combined energy of 110 (moderate), but the wind stays cross-shore and messy. It’s still rated as poor conditions.
Friday the 18th is the closest thing we have to a standout, and even then, it’s not much. The morning offers 4ft SSW swell with a 6-second period, combined energy of 88, and a clean cross-offshore wind from the east at 9 mph. That’s surfable, but ordinary. Afternoon drops to 3ft and goes cross-on.
After that, it’s a desert. From Saturday the 19th all the way through to Tuesday the 1st of October, we’re looking at tiny dribbles – mostly 0.3ft to 2ft, with combined energy stuck between 1 and 23. Winds are often offshore or glassy, which would be nice if there was any swell to clean up. But there isn’t.
This break is a reef setup that needs a solid SSW groundswell to fire, and with most swells coming in short period and barely registering, it’s just not happening. The water temperature is about average for this time of year. The inconsistent nature of Capo Marina means a long flat spell like this isn’t out of the ordinary.
So, if you’re desperate, Friday morning the 18th is your best bet – small, clean, but nothing to write home about. Otherwise, I’d wait for the next swell window.
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.
