The Lowdown
Alright folks, it's Rusty here. Let's have a look at the outlook for Capo Marina.
Right off the bat, I gotta be honest with you – the next week and a half is lookin' pretty grim. There's a whole lot of nothing on the horizon. We start with a couple of days of real messy, poor conditions, with a stormy Thursday and Friday morning that's just not worth paddling out for. The water temperature is sitting at 83°, a massive 7° warmer than usual for this time of year, which is very unusual.
We finally get a bit of a pulse on Friday the 21st for the morning session. The swell is a punchy 5ft from the SSW, and the winds are dead glassy. That's a major positive. The combined wave energy is moderate (349), and while the period is a short 6 seconds, that clean, glassy surface will make it feel better than it looks. It's a reef break, and it's inconsistent, so you'll have to be patient, but this is the best the whole window has to offer for the first week. That afternoon, it gets choppy again.
Saturday the 22nd morning has some clean 5ft SSW swell with a cross-offshore breeze, which is rideable, but not a standout. After that, it's a flat spell. From Sunday the 23rd right through to the end of August, it's tiny, with nothing but knee-high dribble and poor scores. A real bummer.
Now, if you're looking ahead, the first week of September shows a flicker of life. On Friday the 28th of August, we see a big spike of energy come through: 10ft of SSW swell. That's a big number, but it comes with a cross-onshore wind and a combined energy of 1888, which is strong. That's only for the experts. At that size, with that wind, it's going to be a washing machine. For the average surfer, the setup looks more interesting for kite surfing than paddle surfing.
The real standout for the whole 16-day forecast is that Friday the 21st of August morning. It's not massive, but it's the cleanest, most workable wave we're going to see. Get on it early, because it shuts off quick.
Rusty, signing off.

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.
