The Lowdown
G’day, Rusty here. Well, I’ve had a good look at the charts for the next couple of weeks, and I gotta be straight with you—it’s a tough stretch for the Capo Marina reef. This spot is a tricky, advanced-only wave that breaks inconsistently, and we’re looking at a real dry spell.
The water’s sitting at 81°F right now, which is a whopping 8°F warmer than usual for this time of year. That’s seriously unusual, like swimming in a bath.
From the start of the period on Saturday the 5th right through to the end of the forecast window on Sunday the 20th, there’s just no real swell to speak of. We’re talking about a solid 16-day gap with no surf worth paddling out for. The combined energy readings are all tiny—single or low double digits (0 to 18)—which is basically flat. The biggest energy we see is a weak 64 on Thursday the 10th morning, but with a 2ft south-west swell at 7 seconds, it’s just a dribble. The wind’s offshore that morning, so it’s clean, but the wave comment says it all: “surfable waves but very ordinary conditions.” That’s not a recommendation, mate, it’s a polite way of saying don’t bother.
There’s no standout session here. The wind is often light and variable, with a few glassy moments on the 11th and 13th, but with zero energy in the water, you’re just floating on a mirror. Even the afternoon of the 20th gives us a glassy 1ft south-south-west swell, but the energy is still a weak 18. It’s simply not enough for a reef that needs a proper SSW groundswell to come alive.
If you’re a kitesurfer, maybe the light breezes on the 7th or 16th might offer a bit of fun, but for paddle surfing, it’s a total bust. Sometimes it goes quiet like this in these parts, and you just have to wait for the next proper system to roll in. Keep an eye on the charts, but for now, leave the board at home.
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.
