The Lowdown
Alright, let’s get into it. It’s been a real flat spell around here, and Capo Marina has been feeling it. For the next few days, we’re looking at a whole lot of nothing, with a couple of tiny sloppy bumps that aren't worth getting out of bed for. The energy just isn't there.
Things look a bit grim right through Thursday, August 27th. The swell is tiny, as low as 1.0ft, and mostly cross-shore or onshore junk. There's a bit of swell from the SSW, but the period is short and weak, only producing a combined wave energy of 5. The mornings are clean with some light offshore winds, but there just isn’t any real wave to push you around. It’s frustrating because the conditions look okay, but the ocean is flat.
There is one little window that shows a pulse of life on Saturday morning, August 29th. The swell jumps up to 5ft from the southwest with a 6-second period. It's not huge, but that combined energy jumps up to 238, which is moderate. The wind is a light offshore from the ENE, promising clean conditions. This is the standout of the whole forecast period. It's not a monster, but it's the closest thing we'll get to a proper wave. Capo Marina (Sardinia) is a reef break and is exposed to the SSW swell, and with the clean offshore wind, it could be worth a paddle. Keep in mind it’s an advanced wave, and with the crowd factor sometimes present, you might have some company. This is the one to watch.
After that little blip, it fades fast. Sunday, August 30th, has a small 2ft SSW swell and it's clean in the morning, but the energy drops right back down to 29. Then we hit a real dead zone from Monday, August 31st, through the rest of the week. The combined wave energy is basically zero, and we're looking at flat, glassy conditions with no swells on the horizon.
There's a glimmer on the first of September, Tuesday, with a 3ft SSW swell and clean morning wind, but the energy is still weak at 75. It looks surfable, but very ordinary. Beyond that, the wave heights drop back down to 1.0ft or smaller and the energy is almost non-existent. The whole chart is a desert, really.
We’ve got a long stretch of nothing from the 31st of August right through to the 10th of September. There's some very small, weak swell pulses here and there, but with periods under 8 seconds and barely any energy behind them, they won't be breaking with any power. The water is a warm 82° which is much warmer than normal for this time of year, so at least you won't need a thick suit.
Honestly, if you’re desperate for a wave this week, Saturday morning is your only real option. Otherwise, it’s a board-in-the-car, watching-the-horizon kind of week.

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.
