The Lowdown
Alright, let’s get into it. I’m lookin’ at the next couple weeks for the Capo Marina area, and honestly, it’s a pretty bleak stretch. We’ve got a long dry spell of flat, tiny, or just plain messy conditions ahead. The wave energy is almost non-existent until we get a glimmer of hope late in the run.
The first real chance of anything rideable shows up on the morning of Thursday, the 6th of August. The swell bumps up to 3ft from the SW, with a period of 7 seconds. The combined energy is weak, just 103, so it’s barely on the radar. The water temperature is sittin’ at 82°, which is over 5° warmer than usual for this time of year – that’s very unusual, feels like bathwater.
Now, for Capo Marina, it’s a reef break that’s inconsistent and for advanced surfers only. The wind that Thursday morning is light and cross-off from the North, which is a positive. It’ll be clean. But the swell is short-period and weak, so the waves will be small and a bit weak. The optimum swell direction for this spot is SSW, and we’re getting SW, so it’s a little off-angle. Still, it’s the only game in town.
After that Thursday morning, the conditions drop right back off. The afternoon turns cross-onshore, and the rest of the week into the second week is a washout. There are days of flatness or tiny, choppy mush. The morning of Friday the 7th is glassy but only 1ft, and the rest of the forecast is just a sea of zeros and poor conditions.
So, to be straight with you, the only standout window is the morning of Thursday, 6th August. It’s not gonna be a world-beater, but for a spot that’s rarely breaking, it’s your best shot. The rest of the 16 days? A long, boring gap. This is a tough stretch for Capo Marina.

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.
