The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here, let’s talk about what’s coming up for this stretch of coast.
It’s a slow start, no doubt about it. For the first five or six days, you’re looking at pretty much nothing worth chasing. A few tiny ripples here and there, but the swell is too small and conditions are just ordinary. It’s a bit of a waiting game, but that’s how it goes sometimes.
Things finally look like they’re waking up around Saturday, August 29th up at Capo Marina. The morning session is the one to target. We’ve got a clean 5ft swell from the SSW, with an 8-second period, and a light offshore breeze from the NNE at 6 mph keeping it all nice and tidy. The wave energy is sitting at a moderate 253, so there’s some real punch behind it. This is a reef break for advanced surfers only, and it’s an inconsistent spot, so you’ve got to be ready to wait. But this is easily the best looking window in the whole 16-day run.
The rest of the period is a bit of a mixed bag. Sunday, August 30th morning offers a 4ft SSW swell with clean offshore wind again, but it’s not as crisp as Saturday. We see some waist-high days popping up here and there through the first week of September with light breezes, but the quality just isn’t there to call it a proper standout. The water is a warm 81°, which is much warmer than normal for this time of year, so you won’t need a thick suit.
Into the second week, around Sunday, September 6th, we get another little pulse. The morning shows a 3ft SW swell with clean wind, and the afternoon gets glassy with a 3ft swell and a bit more energy (107). It’s surfable, but still just an ordinary, fun-size wave.
So here’s the call: if you want the best chance at a decent wave, get up for the morning of Saturday, August 29th at Capo Marina. That’s your one. The rest is for the patient or the flat-water paddlers.
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.
