The Lowdown
Alright, let’s size this up in feet and knots. Rusty here, giving you the lowdown on Capo Marina.
This is a reef break, and it’s a tricky one – it’s inconsistent, and it only lights up when the swell is from the SSW. The water temp is a warm 82°F, which is about 9°F warmer than normal for this time of year. That’s unusual.
We’re looking at a massive dry spell to start. From Monday the 7th all the way through to Thursday the 17th, there’s absolutely nothing. Zilch. Flat, tiny windswell, and a whole lot of “poor surf conditions.” It’s a long, boring stretch.
The first real pulse arrives on Friday the 18th of September. The morning shows a 4ft swell from the SSW, with a short 7-second period, but a clean offshore wind from the NNE. The combined energy is moderate at 127. It’s small, but it’s the first surfable wave. The afternoon turns choppy, so morning is the window.
Another gap on the 19th and 20th.
Then, Monday the 21st of September is our best shot. The morning has 2ft from the SSW, 6-second period, and a gentle offshore from the N. The energy is weak at 60. The afternoon is where it’s at – the same 2ft, but the period bumps up to 9 seconds, and the wind goes glassy. The energy climbs to 79. It’s not big, but it’s clean, glassy, and the best quality we’ll see. For a spot that rarely breaks, this is the standout.
The 22nd goes flat again.
So, don’t hold your breath for the first week. The one to circle is the afternoon of Monday the 21st of September. It’s small, but with glassy conditions and a bit of groundswell, it’ll be the cleanest, most rideable wave of the whole forecast. Get out there.
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.
