The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what’s cookin’ for Capo Marina.
To be straight with you, this is gonna be one of those quiet spells that tests your patience. The 16-day window really only has a couple of days that are even worth paddlin’ out for, and you’ve gotta wait for ‘em. The first week to ten days is basically a write-off – tiny swell, poor conditions, or just flat. You’re lookin’ at a big gap from Sunday the 26th of July all the way through to Thursday the 6th of August where there’s just nothing doing. A couple of mornings might look glassy, but with waves barely reaching your ankle, it’s more of a swim than a surf.
The one bright spot, and I mean the only one worth getting out of bed for, shows up on the morning of Friday the 7th of August. Capo Marina is a reef break for advanced crew, and it’s *inconsistent*, so when it turns on you gotta go. That Friday morning we get a solid 4ft swell out of the SSW, with a period of 8 seconds – not groundswell territory, but enough to shape up some fun lines. The water temperature’s sitting at 82°, which is much warmer than normal for this time of year with an anomaly of 6°, so you’re in for a tropical bath. The wind is a light 6 mph cross-off from the E, keepin’ things clean. The combined energy in the water is a moderate 203, so there’s a bit of push there. This is the standout of the whole period, but it’s only a morning window; by the afternoon that southeasterly picks up to 12 mph cross-on and chops it all to pieces. If you’re an expert lookin’ for a quick session, that Friday morning is your shot.
Saturday the 8th of August has similar swell size – around 4ft to 5ft from the SSW – but the wind is all wrong, cross or cross-on from the SE at 9-12 mph, ruinin’ the shape. The energy’s there (178-229), but it’s not gonna be clean enough for a good paddle session. Honestly, with that wind setup over a reef, you might be better off lookin’ at a kite if that’s your thing.
After that, it fades back down into the small stuff by Sunday the 9th and Monday the 10th of August. A morning offshore on the 9th with 2ft might give you a couple of ordinary waves, but nothing to write home about.
So here’s the deal: the forecast is pretty locked in for the near term, and it’s bleak. The long-range Friday the 7th looks promising, but remember this break rarely pumps, so don’t get too attached until it’s under your feet. It’s a dry spell, but the water’s warm – that’s the silver lining.
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.
