The Lowdown
Hey folks, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what’s in store for Capo Marina over the next couple of weeks.
Right off the bat, I gotta be straight with you: we’re staring down a long, dry spell. The first week and a half is basically a write-off. From Saturday the 5th right through to Wednesday the 10th, there’s nothing worth paddling out for. The combined swell energy is either zero or barely registering (0 to 9), and the few tiny waves that do show up are just too weak to bother with. It’s a real bummer, but it happens.
Now, things finally start to look a little interesting on Thursday morning, the 10th of September. We get a pulse of swell from the SSW at 3ft with a period of 6 seconds, and the combined energy jumps to 87 (moderate). The wind is offshore from the NNE at 6 mph, so the surface will be clean. It’s not going to be a world-beater, but it’s the first surfable moment in over a week. Capo Marina is a reef break that’s inconsistent, and it needs a proper SSW swell to work. This is a small window, so don’t expect a crowd, but it might be worth a peek if you’re desperate.
After that, we slide back into the doldrums. From Friday the 11th right through to the end of the forecast on Sunday the 20th, the energy drops right back to near zero (0 to 5). There are a few tiny, weak pulses from the SW and SSE, but nothing that’ll get the heart racing. Winds are often offshore or glassy, which is a shame because the waves just aren’t there to make use of it.
To be honest, the only stand-out moment in this whole 16-day window is that Thursday morning (10th September). It’s not perfect, but it’s the only time the reef has a chance. If you’re a patient surfer, that’s your one shot. The rest of the time, it’s a waiting game.
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.
