The Lowdown
G'day, Rusty here, and I've gotta be straight with you—this outlook for the next couple of weeks is a tough one. We're looking at a real flat spell ahead, so don't get your hopes up too high. The only chance of a decent paddle comes way down the line, so patience is the name of the game.
Let's start with the now. For the first few days, there's nothing doing. We've got a tiny bit of swell on Sunday morning the 30th of August at Capo Marina, with a 3ft south-west swell, but it's short-period stuff at 6 seconds, and the combined energy is a weak 47. The wind is off from the north-east, so it's clean, but the water is a balmy 81°, which is a massive 7° warmer than usual—that's very unusual for the time of year. Still, it's not enough to get excited about. The afternoon turns cross-onshore, and the whole thing drops off.
From Monday the 31st, we're in a deep lull. For nearly two weeks, from the end of August right through to the 13th of September, the swell is tiny or non-existent. The combined energy values are mostly in the single digits or zero. There are a few mornings with light offshore winds, but without any swell, it's just a flat, clean lake. It's a long dry spell, and it's going to feel like forever.
Then, finally, on Monday morning the 14th of September, we get a sniff of something. Capo Marina picks up a 4ft south-west swell with a period of 9 seconds, giving us a moderate combined energy of 168. The wind is light offshore from the north-north-east, so it'll be clean. The wave comment says "surfable waves but very ordinary conditions," so it's not a classic, but it's the only window we've got. The afternoon turns onshore, but that morning session is your best bet. It's still a long way off, so take it with a grain of salt, but it's the only game in town.
Overall, this is a bleak forecast for a paddle. If you're a kite surfer, the wind is there at times, but for a surfboard, it's a waiting game. Hang in there.
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.
