The Lowdown
G’day, it’s Rusty here.
Honestly, the next couple of weeks look pretty frustrating for Capo Marina. We’ve got a long, flat stretch ahead, and it’s going to feel like forever before we get anything worth paddling out for. The first real sign of life isn't until Saturday the 29th, and even that’s nothing to write home about.
The outlook starts in a real slump, with waves too small and messy to bother with right up until the morning of Saturday the 29th. That’s a solid five-day dry spell to start. That morning we finally see some energy bump up to 4ft from the SSW, with a clean light cross-offshore breeze. The energy is only around 138, which is moderate at best, and the period is a short 7 seconds, so think bumpy, crumbly little lines rather than proper groundswell. It’s surfable, but you’ll be working hard for not much.
The weekend fades again, and by Sunday the 30th we’re back to small 3ft surf with a light offshore, which might give you a few workable but gutless runners. Then, nothing again until the morning of Tuesday, September 1st. That’s another day of 3ft SSW swell, again with a 6-second period, and a clean northeasterly breeze. It's the same deal—small, weak, and uninspiring. It’s not until the morning of Tuesday, September 10th that things actually get a little more interesting. That’s over a week away, so treat it as promising but not certain. The forecast shows 4ft of SSW groundswell with a 7-second period, all under a glassy, clean sky with a light east-northeasterly wind. The energy is up to 144, which tells me there’s a touch more push behind it. For this spot, that’s likely the best you’re going to get in this window. It’s still not big, and it’s a little short-period, so expect a bit of mess in the lineup, but at least you won’t be sitting there staring at flat water. This break is an inconsistent reef, so any rideable day is a bit of a gift. Given the lack of size and the poor winds on offer, the beach setups here look more interesting for a kite than a paddle board. Keep the hope alive for that 10th, but don’t book your week around it.
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.
