The Lowdown
Alright, let’s get into it. The next couple weeks look pretty quiet around Capo Marina. We’ve got a long stretch of nothing before anything really shows up, so don’t get too excited just yet.
The first hint of anything rideable comes on Tuesday, August 18th. The morning shows a bump of 3ft SSW swell, with a period of 6 seconds. That’s a short-period wind swell, not much power behind it, combined energy is weak at (85). Wind is cross-off from the north at 12 mph, so it’ll be clean on the surface, but the waves will be small and weak. Honestly, it’s still poor surf conditions. Not worth paddling out.
Wednesday, August 19th morning gets a little closer to something you’d actually want to sit on. Swell drops to 2ft from the SW, period stretches to 7 seconds, combined energy is moderate at (54). The wind is offshore from the NNE at 6 mph – that’s clean. Conditions are described as surfable but very ordinary. It’s not a standout, but if you’re desperate, it’s the best of a bad run.
Then we jump to Sunday, August 23rd morning. There’s a 2ft SW swell, period 7 seconds, combined energy at (65). Winds are glassy – dead calm – so the ocean will be smooth as a lake. Still, the waves are small and the quality is just “surfable but very ordinary.” For a reef break that’s already inconsistent, this is as good as it gets in this window.
Truth is, Capo Marina is a tricky spot. It’s an exposed reef break that needs a solid SSW swell to really fire, and this forecast just doesn’t deliver that. The swell direction is mostly SW or SSW, which matches the optimum, but the size and period are too weak to make it interesting. Expect crowds to be possible on the few small days.
Overall, there’s no true standout here. The whole 16-day window is mostly flat or marginal. For a break like this, that’s not unusual – it can go quiet for long stretches. The only real chance to get wet is the morning of Wednesday, August 19th, or maybe the glassy morning of Sunday, August 23rd. But don’t expect any waves worth writing home about.

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.
