Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at the outlook for Capo Marina over the next couple of weeks. I gotta be straight with you – this one’s a tough watch. We’re looking at a long stretch of near-flat conditions with barely a ripple to get excited about.
The first proper surf we see is on Sunday, 12 July, but it’s nothing to write home about. We’ve got a tiny 1ft swell from the SSE, with a short period of 5 seconds, and the combined energy is a measly 9. It’s just not doing anything. The water temperature is sitting at 80°, which is a whopping 6° warmer than normal for this time of year – that’s very unusual, and you’ll feel it if you get in. The morning has a clean offshore NNE breeze at 3 mph, but with that swell size, it’s not going to save the day.
Monday the 13th is even smaller, with 1.0ft from the SSE, and the energy drops to 8. The glassy conditions in the morning are a tease, but there’s just no push behind it. Tuesday the 14th is a complete write-off, with swell dropping to 0.7ft and energy down to 3. The pattern continues: we see a few pulses of 0.3ft to 1ft through the middle of the week and into the weekend, but it’s all weak, short-period junk. The wind stays light or offshore at times, but it doesn’t matter when there’s nothing to ride.
We hit a dead zone from Friday the 17th through to Tuesday the 21st where there’s literally zero swell for long stretches. You’ll be staring at a flat ocean. Then, on Tuesday the 21st, we see a tiny bump: 1ft from the SSW, energy at 8. Still junk. Wednesday the 22nd is the best of a bad lot, with a 2ft swell from the SSW, period of 6 seconds, and energy climbing to 25. The morning has a clean cross-off wind from the ENE at 3 mph, and the afternoon turns glassy. That’s the standout window, but honestly, it’s still small and weak.
After that, it’s back to near-flat conditions through the end of the month. There is a slight increase on Monday the 27th, with a 3ft swell from the SW, period of 6 seconds, and energy of 39. That’s the biggest we’ll see, but the afternoon wind turns onshore and choppy. It’s still not surfable for a proper session.
This break is a reef that’s advanced and inconsistent, and it rarely breaks, so this blank run isn’t a total shock. It’s just one of those periods where the ocean has nothing to offer us. If you’re desperate, the Wednesday the 22nd morning with the glassy 2ft is your best bet, but keep your expectations low. The forecasts can change, so don’t give up hope entirely.
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.
