The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what’s cookin’ in our local waters. I gotta be straight with you – this is one of those stretches where patience is gonna be your main tool. The forecast for the next 16 days is looking pretty flat and uninspiring, with a big ol' run of days where there’s just no swell to speak of.
We start off on Sunday the 19th of July with a tiny pulse, but the conditions are poor with an onshore wind, so don’t even bother. From there, we hit a real dry spell. From Monday the 20th right through until the morning of Sunday the 27th of July, there’s barely a ripple to get excited about – a whole week of tiny, unrideable waves or outright flatness. Even though the wind is often clean or glassy, there’s just no energy in the water. The combined energy levels are sitting at pathetic values (19, 15, 12, and mostly zeroes), so it's a total bust.
Now, if you’re desperate for a paddle or just want to get wet, there’s a very faint chance around the very end of the month and into early August. On Wednesday the 30th of July morning, we see a tiny 0.3 ft sliver from the west with an 8-second period, giving a combined energy of just 1. That's about as weak as it gets. The winds look clean though. The same story repeats on Friday the 1st of August and Saturday the 2nd – tiny little bumps from the west and southwest, but nothing with any push or shape.
The only break on offer is Capo Marina. It’s a reef setup, so it needs a decent swell to get it going, and right now we ain’t got it. It’s known for being an inconsistent wave, so this kind of flat spell isn’t a huge surprise. The water temp on the 19th is a very unusual 82°, which is much warmer than normal for this time of year, but that's about the only notable thing happening.
Look, I’ll be honest: there is no standout session in this whole outlook. The best you could hope for is a glassy morning late next week with a knee-high wobble, but we are talking about absolute scraps. For an advanced reef break like Capo Marina, you need some size and direction, and we have neither. If the swell was bigger, the onshore winds would make it ugly, but it's not even a factor.
Hang in there. It tends not to stay this poor for ages, and forecasts can change. But for now, leave the board in the shed.
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.
