The Lowdown
G’day, Rusty here. I’ll level with you—this stretch ahead for Capo Marina is about as flat as a day on the couch. We’ve got a solid run of nothing on the cards, and what little pops up is barely worth paddling out for. The water temp is sitting at 80°F right now, which is much warmer than normal for this time of year—nearly 8°F above average—so if you’re keen for a dip without a wave, at least it’s warm.
We’re starting off Sunday the 13th with next to nothing—0.3ft of weak, short-period SW swell, combined energy is just 1. Morning has a light offshore NNE breeze at 6 mph, making it clean, but there’s no wave to surf. Afternoon swings to a light onshore SSW wind, still flat. Monday the 14th and Tuesday the 15th are the same story: 0.3ft from the S, clean mornings but no size, no energy. Wednesday the 16th goes completely flat with zero energy—morning is glassy with an E breeze at 3 mph, but still no surf.
Now, Thursday the 17th is the only day that even flirts with something. Morning sees a bit of life: 4ft of SSW swell at 6 seconds, combined energy up to 207—that’s moderate energy. It’s a risk of thunderstorms though, with a cross-onshore SSE wind at 6 mph making conditions messy. That’s marginal at best. The afternoon glass off with 2ft from the SW at 8 seconds and energy down to 80, but it’s clean and glassy—surfable but very ordinary. This is a reef break, so it’s only for advanced crew, and it’s inconsistent, so don’t bank on much. It’s the best we’ve got, but honestly, it’s not a standout.
After that, it’s back to a desert. Friday the 18th through to Monday the 28th is almost entirely flat, with long gaps of zero energy and only tiny dribbles—2ft at best on Wednesday the 23rd with glassy conditions, but still poor. The wind stays mostly offshore or cross-offshore, so if there were waves it’d be clean, but there aren’t. Even the stronger N winds around the 24th to 27th only bring 0.3ft to 0.7ft. It’s a blank run, plain and simple.
For this area, that’s not totally unusual, but it doesn’t mean it’ll stay poor forever—forecasts can change. Right now though, don’t bother. 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.
