The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here. Gotta be honest with you, this forecast for Capo Marina is a bummer. This reef break needs a real specific SSW swell, and for the first week and a half, we’re completely flat. From now through the 24th of July, it’s mostly a dead zone. The few tiny bumps that show up are too small, have no period, and get wrecked by bad wind. The combined energy numbers are pathetic, mostly in the single digits or low teens (like 13, 4, 7) – that’s real weak stuff. Don't bother.
The first actual chance to get wet is the morning of Sunday, July 20th. The swell finally gets to a tiny 3ft from the SSW, with a 6-second period. It’s not groundswell, but the wind is a light offshore from the N at 6 mph, keeping the surface *clean*. The combined energy hits 60 – still weak, but it’s the best we’ll see. This is the one session to target. For a break that rarely breaks, you gotta jump on it. The water temp is about what you’d expect for this time of year.
After that, it’s flat again until the 25th.
Then on Saturday, July 26th, the morning brings a 3ft SSW swell with a 6-second period. The wind is from the ENE at 6 mph, making for a clean cross-offshore. The energy is 48. It’s the same story – small, but clean. The next morning, Sunday, July 27th, has a 2ft SW swell, 7-second period, and a light offshore NNE breeze at 3 mph. The energy is 42. It’s not going to be epic, but it’s a surfable wave.
After that, it’s back to tiny flatness through the end of the month.
So here’s the deal: the first ten days are a wash. The best bet is the morning of the 20th, and then maybe the mornings of the 26th and 27th if you’re keen. Being a reef, it’ll shape those small waves better than a beach break, but don't expect much size. For a spot that’s this inconsistent, a long quiet spell like this is just normal. Hang loose, check the charts later, but for now, find another hobby.
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.
