The Lowdown
Alright, let’s get into it. This is Rusty, and I’m looking at the 16-day forecast for Capo Marina. I gotta be straight with you: the next couple of weeks are looking quiet, with a whole lot of nothing on the cards. There’s a big gap of dead-flat conditions stretching from now all the way until the 8th of September. That’s a solid week-plus of no surf to speak of. It's going to be a paddling pool out there. Don’t bother waxing up just yet, because you’ll be waiting a while.
Then, things finally start to flicker to life around Wednesday the 9th. That morning we see a pulse of 3ft swell from the SW, with a period of 8 seconds. The energy is moderate, coming in at 172 (moderate wave energy), but the wind is a cross-shore from the SE at 9 mph, which will put a bit of chop on it. The afternoon keeps the swell around 4ft, but the wind swings light cross-onshore, and combined energy bumps up a touch to 201. It’s still not exactly firing, but it’s the best we’ve got in the whole window. For a break like Capo Marina, which is an advanced reef that's inconsistent, you really need the right conditions to make it worthwhile, and this is just a marginal setup. Despite the clean mornings we get after that, the swell drops right back off, with barely a ripple through to the 18th.
The water temperature is sitting at a very unusual 81°F, which is about 8°F warmer than normal for this time of year. That’s a proper anomaly; feels more like a tropical lagoon than a typical surf zone.
Because the swell is so small and the conditions are so flat for days on end, this is one of those outlooks where you’re better off leaving the boards at home. There’s no standout session, no day to circle on the calendar with any confidence. Just a long, flat spell with one brief, average-sized pulse in the middle of the second week.
Stay patient, keep an eye on the charts, but for now, it’s time to find something else to do.
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.
