The Lowdown
Alright, let’s lay it out straight. The surf at Capo Marina for the next 16 days is mostly a flat, sad story. From Tuesday the 15th straight through to at least Monday the 21st, you’re looking at a whole lot of nothing. The water’s warm—79°F—and that’s about 8°F warmer than usual for this time of year, which is a big deal. But warm water doesn’t make waves, and right now, it’s just flat.
There’s one brief moment on Thursday morning the 17th where a weak 3ft swell from the S shows up, but it’s got a short 5-second period and cross-on SE wind. The combined energy is only 35, so it’s weak and messy. Not worth it.
Friday the 18th morning is the only real chance for anything. We get a small 3ft from SSW with a 6-second period, and the energy climbs to 75, but it’s still weak. Wind is cross-off from ENE, so the surface will be cleanish, but it’s just not going to be any good. Knee-to-waist-high at best, very ordinary.
After that, it’s a long, flat stretch. From the 21st through the 28th, there’s absolutely no surf. Then on the 28th, a tiny 1ft from SE, and the 29th shows 2ft from S. All of it is too small and weak to matter.
So, bottom line: there’s no standout here. The best of a bad bunch is Friday morning the 18th, and that’s saying nothing. Beginners don’t need to worry—nothing’s too big—but for anyone else, this is a week to stay home. It’s a blank run, and that’s normal for this area. Forecasts can shift, but as it stands, I wouldn’t hold my breath.

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.
