The Lowdown
Alright, let’s get real. Strap in, because this is a tough one for the Capo Marina zone.
Look, I’m not gonna sugarcoat it – the next week and a half is a write-off. We’re looking at a long, dry spell with barely a ripple worth paddling for. Up until Saturday the 12th of September, the wave energy is basically non-existent, with combined energy readings sitting in the single digits or zero. Tiny, weak swell, and where there is any, the period is way too short to do anything with. It’s a frustrating start.
Now, finally, around Saturday the 12th, we get a little pulse of life. It’s not the surf of the year, but it’s the only game in town. The morning of the 12th shows a 2ft SSW swell, with a period of 8 seconds. The combined energy bumps up to 53 (moderate). The wind is offshore from the North at 9 mph, which will clean it right up. That afternoon, it gets even better with glassy conditions from the WNW, and the energy actually ticks up slightly to 57. The waves are small, but for a picky, inconsistent reef break like Capo Marina, having clean, offshore conditions is a massive win. This is the standout of the entire 16-day window.
Sunday the 13th sees a drop back down to 1ft and energy fading fast to 12, so that Saturday session is the one to circle.
After that, it’s back to the doldrums. From Monday the 14th right through to the end of the forecast on the 20th, the combined energy flatlines back to zero. There’s nothing showing. For a break that’s already inconsistent, this kind of blank run is a bit more normal for the area, but it doesn’t make it any easier.
The water temperature is sitting at a very unusual 81°, which is a massive 9° warmer than normal for this time of year. Definitely something to note if you’re suiting up.
So there you have it. One window, one day. It’s not much, but it’s clean, it’s offshore, and for Capo Marina, that’s about as good as it gets right now. Keep an eye on the long-range, but for now, get your fix on the 12th.

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.
