The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s get into it.
Right off the bat, I gotta be straight with you – the next week and a half is looking pretty grim. We’ve got a solid run of nothingness from Monday the 20th of July right through to the end of the month. For a stretch of about 10 days, there’s just no swell to speak of. It’s gonna be flat, flat, flat. The only spot we’ve got to talk about is Capo Marina, and it’s a tricky one – an advanced reef break that’s inconsistent, so this kind of blank run is not totally out of the ordinary for the area.
The first whisper of a pulse finally shows up on Tuesday the 28th of July. We’re talking tiny, weak energy – barely a ripple. The morning brings a glassy, clean look with a 0.7ft swell from the SSE, but the period is a short 4 seconds, and the combined energy is a measly 1. So, it’s not really worth paddling out for.
Things tease a little more on Wednesday the 29th. The morning has a 2ft SE swell (4-second period), with a clean cross-off breeze. The wave energy is still weak, sitting at 26. It’s small, but it’s something. The afternoon gets messy with a cross-on wind, so the morning is your only window.
The rest of the days roll by with similarly tiny, poor-quality waves. We get a little bump on Sunday the 2nd of August. The morning shows a 3ft SSW swell with a 6-second period – the biggest we’ve seen all forecast. The combined energy jumps to 46, which is still weak, but it’s the most we’ve got. The wind is a clean cross-off, but the report says the conditions are “very ordinary”, so don’t expect magic. This is the only day that even gets a score of 1 out of 10, meaning it’s surfable.
Honestly, there’s no standout day here. The whole 16-day window is a struggle. For a break like Capo Marina that only works when everything lines up, this is a long stretch of quiet. The best you can hope for is a quick session on the morning of Sunday the 2nd of August if you’re desperate. Otherwise, leave the board in the car and keep an eye on the forecasts – things can change.
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.
