The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s get into it.
Well, I gotta be straight with you – this 16-day window for Capo Marina is a dry spell. We’re looking at a real flat stretch here, with basically nothing worth paddling out for. The first few days are a write-off, and the pattern doesn't really change. You’ll be staring at a whole lot of nothing for the first week.
The only real pulse of energy, if you can call it that, is a tiny bump of SSW swell on Sunday, July 19th. The morning sees a 3ft SSW swell with a period of 6 seconds, which is pretty weak and short-period (combined energy of just 48). It’s clean with a cross-off N wind, but it's just not enough to get excited about. By the afternoon, the wind goes glassy, but the swell drops to 2ft. It’s surfable for a longboard or a foamie, maybe, but it’s a very ordinary session.
After that, it’s a long, flat march. From Monday, July 20th all the way through to the end of the month, we’re looking at tiny, inconsistent pulses of 0.3ft to 1ft and a few days with zero swell at all. The water is a very unusual 83°F, much warmer than normal for this time of year, but that’s about the only thing out of the ordinary.
The only flicker of life comes right at the end of the window. On Saturday, August 2nd, the morning shows a 3ft SSW swell bumping up with a period of 6 seconds (combined energy of 40) and clean conditions. But it’s still a long way out, so don’t hold your breath. Capo Marina is an advanced reef break that’s inconsistent, and this forecast proves it – this is a period where the ocean just isn’t cooperating. For paddle surfing, it’s a no-go. If you’re desperate, you might find a better ride on a kite.
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.
