Capo Marina Surf Forecast and Surf Report

Alright, surfers, Rusty here. Let's talk about what's on the menu at Capo Marina for the next couple of weeks.

Right off the bat, I gotta be straight with you – the first thirteen days are a right-off. We've got a long, painful gap from now all the way through to the morning of the 19th of July where there's nothing to ride. Tiny scraps of swell, mostly onshore or side-shore breezes, and the wave comment just says "poor surf conditions" every single time. It's a tough stretch, but it's the kind of run that happens in this area sometimes. There's no point even looking at the water until that second week.

The water temp is sitting at a warm 77°, which is a solid 4° warmer than average for this time of year – that's a notable thing for your first paddle out.

We don't get a glimmer of hope until Sunday the 19th of July. The morning session is where it's at. That's the standout window for the whole forecast. We'll see a SSW swell coming in at just 2 ft and 8 seconds period. It's not huge, but it's the only pulse we get. The wind will be blowing offshore from the NNE at 6 mph, giving us clean conditions on the reef. The combined wave energy is still pretty weak at 69, so don't expect much power, but it's surfable and clean after a long drought. Just be aware, this spot is inconsistent and rarely breaks, so to see any action here is a bit of a bonus. And because the break is a reef setup, that short-period swell won't be a problem – it should section up nicely.

The afternoon gets messy with a cross-onshore wind, so make the most of the morning. The 20th of July Monday morning offers a bit more clean cross-off wind, but the swell is smaller with an even weaker energy reading of 54.

That's your lot. We've got a long flat spell, then a very brief moment of clean, rideable surf on the 19th morning. After that, it's back to the doldrums. Keep your eyes peeled, but don't hold your breath.

Rusty.
