The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what’s on the menu for the Capo Marina area. Gotta be straight with you – this is a tough stretch. We’re looking at a long, dry spell before anything even worth paddling out for shows up.
The next ten days or so are basically a write-off. From Tuesday the 4th of August right through to Friday the 14th of August, it’s just tiny, weak dribble. Wave energy is barely a whisper, with values sitting between 1 and 25 (weak energy). Most of the time, there’s nothing at all. The wind is sometimes glassy or offshore, but with no swell to work with, it’s a cruel tease. This is a reef break that’s inconsistent at the best of times, and right now, it’s flat.
Things start to flicker to life on Saturday the 15th of August. The morning shows a little bump of 3 ft from the SSW, with a short period of 5 seconds. The energy climbs to 56 (moderate wave energy). The wind is offshore from the north at 6 mph, so it’ll be clean. It’s surfable, but very ordinary. The afternoon goes mushy onshore.
Then Sunday the 16th of August morning offers a similar picture: 3 ft from the S, period of 6 seconds, energy at 67 (moderate). Wind is light and cross-off from the east at 3 mph, keeping it clean. Again, it’s surfable but nothing to write home about. The water temp is about average for this time of year.
If you’re desperate for a wave, the standout window is the morning of Saturday the 15th. It’s the biggest swell on offer with the cleanest wind. Capo Marina is a reef setup, so that short-period swell won’t be anything special, but at least you’ll be on the water. Don’t expect any crowds, but with it being inconsistent, don’t expect a great session either.
That’s your lot. It’s a quiet stretch, but as we know, forecasts can change. Hang tight.

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.
