The Lowdown
Hey crew, Rusty here. Let’s talk surf for this area. I’m not gonna sugarcoat it – it’s looking bleak for a long while.
We’ve only got one spot in the mix: Capo Marina, which is a tricky reef, breaks inconsistently, and is strictly for the experienced crew. Water temp is about normal for the season, nothing out of the ordinary.
You’re looking at a huge gap with nothing worth paddling out for. From Sunday, July 26th, all the way through to Saturday, August 8th, it’s basically flat or junk. Swell energy is pitiful, with numbers mostly in the single digits (between 2 and 55) – that’s weak juice. Wave heights are tiny, mostly under 1 ft. There’s a brief moment on Monday the 27th where we see waist-high, 3 ft waves from the SSW, but with a short 6-second period and cross-off breeze, it’s nothing to write home about.
The one bright spot, and it’s a long way off, is on Monday, August 10th. We finally get a pulse of energy: 4 ft from the SSW, with a 7-second period, pushing the combined energy to 169 (moderate). The morning wind is light offshore from the NNE, so it should be clean. For a spot that rarely turns on, this is a real possibility. Don’t hold your breath for anything before that, though. Most days you won’t even need a wetsuit, just a towel to sit on the beach.
Keep an eye on that 10th of August. That’s your best bet.

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.
