The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here, and I've got the outlook for Capo Marina. Let's be straight up—this isn't the most prolific stretch we've seen, but there's a real glimmer of hope if you're willing to wait.
Overall, the next week to ten days is looking pretty grim. We've got a long, dry spell with barely a bump on the cards. The water temperature is sitting at a very unusual 81°F, which is much warmer than normal for this time of year, so at least you won't need a thick wetsuit for the minimal duck dives.
The action doesn't really kick off until Saturday the 29th of August. That morning, the swell finally shows some life with a 5ft SSW groundswell carrying a period of 7 seconds. The combined energy hits a moderate 243, which is the first sign of proper power. Wind is light cross-shore, so it'll be a bit bumpy. It's a marginal call at best. The rest of that weekend and into the start of September stays small and weak, with clean mornings but waves barely breaking three feet.
The one true standout in this entire 16-day window lands on Wednesday the 9th of September. That morning, Capo Marina gets a clean 5ft SSW swell with a period of 8 seconds and a combined energy rating of 322. The wind is offshore from the east at 3 mph, meaning it’ll be glassy and clean. This is the only time the forecast tips into "expect good surf conditions" territory. For an advanced, inconsistent reef break like this, you need the stars to align, and that morning looks like the best chance we've got. The swell direction is straight out of the SSW, which is the optimum direction for this spot, so the reef should line up nicely. Keep in mind, though, as an inconsistent spot that requires a specific swell, it’s a bit of a gamble, but the numbers say go. After that, the afternoon goes back to poor, cross-onshore junk.
Before and after that Wednesday window? Nothin'. There are long gaps of several days with no real recommendations—just flat, clean-looking mornings with zero swell or ankle-biters. The forecast from the 4th of September onwards, there’s a solid 3-day stretch of flat calm, with energy readings of 0 or 1. That’s about as dead as it gets.
So, to sum it up: Wait for the morning of Wednesday the 9th of September. It’s not a huge swell, but for an advanced reef, that clean 5ft SSW groundswell with offshore airflow is your one shot at something worth paddling out for. Everything else, you might as well stay on the beach and have a beer.

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.
