The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here. Lookin’ at the next couple weeks and I gotta be straight with you – it’s a real bummer. The surf window is mostly flat or close to it, with a long stretch of nothing worth chasing. Don’t get your hopes up.
The only spot in the mix is Capo Marina, a reef break that’s for advanced crew only and doesn’t break often. Water temp is 79°F, which is a wild 8°F warmer than usual – that’s really weird, like bathwater.
We start off with nada. Tuesday the 15th has a pathetic 0.3ft SSW swell with a 4-second period – zero energy. Wednesday the 16th is glassy but flat. Thursday the 17th morning gives us a 2ft south swell at 5 seconds, weak energy (17), but with light offshore wind it’s clean – still, it’s tiny. That afternoon the swell bumps to 3ft, but the wind turns cross-onshore and chops it up.
Friday the 18th afternoon is the only half-decent moment: 3ft from the SSW at 6 seconds, glassy, with moderate energy (81). The waves are small and ordinary – it’s barely a 1 out of 10 day.
From Saturday the 19th through to Tuesday the 29th, it’s flat spells and dribbles of 0.3ft to 1ft. The only faint glimmer is Friday the 25th and Saturday the 26th mornings, with 1ft SSE swell at 8 seconds and clean conditions, but energy is still weak (22 and 12). No power at all.
With this tiny, weak swell and clean but insignificant conditions on a reef, it’s more of a swim spot than a surf spot. There’s nothing to get excited about. Forecasts can change, but for now, it’s a long, flat stretch.
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.
