The Lowdown
Rusty here again, giving you the lowdown in feet and miles per hour.
The whole 16-day window is a desert for surf. There's no proper swell anywhere, and the only spot that’s even flickering is Capo Marina, a sharp reef that’s notoriously inconsistent and only really turns on when there’s a serious SSW push. This forecast is a bust for paddle surfing.
Starting this Saturday, the 12th of September, we’ve got a tiny 1ft SSW windswell with a weak 4-second period. The combined energy is a measly (6). Winds are light from the north at 9 mph, keeping the surface clean, but the waves have no power or shape. It drops to less than 1ft by afternoon and is totally flat by Sunday.
From Monday the 14th right through to the end of the month, it’s a repeating pattern of flat, or barely 0.3ft pulses from the south or southwest. Periods stay short—between 4 and 8 seconds—and the energy never climbs above (2). There are some moments of perfect glass, like Thursday the 17th morning and Thursday the 24th afternoon, and some clean offshore winds (north at 9-15 mph) on Monday the 21st and Tuesday the 22nd, but it’s all for nothing—there’s no swell behind any of it.
For this area, a run of flat days like this is typical. If you absolutely have to get wet, pick a glassy morning, but you’ll be floating more than surfing. Honestly, with the wind but no waves, this setup looks better suited for kite surfing than paddling.
Signing off, 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.
