The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what’s on offer for the next couple of weeks.
Honestly, for a spot that’s as exposed as Capo Marina, we’re looking at a real quiet stretch. The pattern kicks off Wednesday the 5th of August with nothing but glassy, tiny bumps at 0.7 ft – you’d be paddling more than riding. That flat spell runs right through the first week. There’s a glimmer Friday morning the 7th when a little 1 ft SSW pulse shows up with a clean offshore breeze, but the combined energy is only 15 – weak. Still, for a blink, you might get a knee-high wave.
The real story is the gap. From Wednesday the 5th all the way through to Monday the 17th of August, we’re mostly dealing with poor surf conditions and scores of zero. There are a few mornings with light offshore winds, but the swell just isn’t there.
Then, on Monday the 17th of August, things finally stir. The morning sees 3 ft from the SSW, period of 6 seconds, and a clean cross-off breeze. The combined energy hits 75 – still moderate but at least it’s surfable. It’s ordinary, but it’s something. The next couple of days build slightly, with Tuesday the 18th morning showing 3 ft from the SW and 76 energy, though the wind turns cross-shore. Thursday the 20th of August morning bumps up to 4 ft from the SSW, with a period of 8 seconds and 217 combined energy – moderate, but the wind is cross-onshore and messy.
The standout? There isn’t a true standout here. If I had to pick one, it’s Monday the 17th of August morning at Capo Marina. That 3 ft SSW swell with clean cross-off wind gives you the best shot at something rideable, even if it’s small. The water temp is about average for this time of year, nothing unusual.
This spot is a reef, advanced-only, and inconsistent. It rarely breaks well, and when it does, it can get crowded sometimes. For this forecast, we’re mostly waiting.
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.
