The Lowdown
Right, folks, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what’s cookin’ for Capo Marina, and honestly, it’s a pretty flat spell ahead. We’re looking at a long, dry run with almost nothing to get excited about.
The whole 16-day window is a tough one. We’ve got a massive gap of poor conditions right from the start that stretches all the way to the morning of Saturday, 29 August. That’s almost a full week of waiting for anything that’s even surfable. The water is sitting at 83°F, which is *much warmer than normal* for this time of year – a solid 7°F above the long-term average. That’s pretty unusual.
The first real chance to wet a line comes on Saturday morning, 29 August. The swell shows up as a modest 4ft from the SSW, with a period of 7 seconds. That’s a short-period wind swell, so it’ll be a bit lumpy and lack punch. The combined energy reading is 166 (moderate energy), which is the best we’ll see. The real kicker is the wind: a light offshore breeze from the NNE. This will keep the surface clean, so for an advanced reef break like Capo Marina, the shape might just be okay, but it’s not going to be memorable. The crowds are only *sometimes* a problem here, so you might have it to yourself.
The only other faint pulse is the morning of Sunday, 30 August. The swell drops to 3ft from the SW, still with that short 7-second period. The energy is down to 100 (moderate). The wind is still offshore from the NNE, so it’ll be clean again, but the size is small. It’s surfable, but very ordinary.
The rest of the forecast? More of the same – tiny waves, onshore breezes, and flat spells. The morning of Tuesday, 2 September, offers a 2ft SW swell with a clean cross-offshore wind, but it’s nothing to write home about. For the most part, this spot is a dud for the next two weeks. If you’re desperate, the standout is Saturday morning, 29 August, but keep your expectations low.
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.
