The Lowdown
Right, let’s talk real talk about the Cape for the next couple of weeks. Honestly, it’s a long, dry spell. From now right through to almost the end of July, the ocean is basically taking a nap. No swell, no push, just flat calm or tiny, useless junk. Don’t bother.
We finally get a tiny flicker of life at Capo Marina on Saturday, August 1st. It’s small – 2ft of SSW swell, but the conditions are the real story. A light N wind in the morning keeps it tidy, and then it goes dead glassy in the afternoon. The water is way warmer than it should be for this time of year, about 82°F, which is over 7° above normal. The energy is low though, so don't expect much power.
It drops off again after that, but the one session that sticks out is the Tuesday morning of August 4th. That’s the biggest pulse of the whole stretch – 3ft from the SW with a 7-second period. The combined energy hits 65, which is still weak but it’s the best we get. Wind is light and glassy again. This is an advanced reef break that doesn't break often and can get a crowd when it does. The swell direction (SSW) is exactly what this spot wants to see. It’s not a big day, but it’ll be the cleanest ride on offer.
For beginners, anything over 5ft is getting too much, but this 3ft day is still fine for better surfers. For the rest of the time, the onshore wind and tiny, weak swell just make it a kite-surfing kind of setup if anything. A spot this inconsistent going quiet for two weeks is pretty normal. Don't hold your breath, but that 4th of August morning is your one chance.

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.
