The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s take a look at what’s shaping up.
Right off the bat, I gotta be straight with you – this is a tough stretch. The whole 16-day window is practically flat. We’re looking at a long, dry spell with barely a ripple. The first real surf recommendation doesn’t show up until the 9th of September, and even then it’s a struggle.
The only spot on the menu is Capo Marina (reef). It’s an inconsistent, advanced-level reef break, so it’s not for the faint of heart. The water is sitting at a very unusual 81°, which is much warmer than normal for this time of year – feels like a bath out there.
The first hint of anything is on Wednesday, September 9th. The morning shows a tiny 2ft swell from the S with a cross-shore breeze, but it’s still poor. The afternoon picks up a little, with the swell nudging 3ft from the SSW and a period of 6 seconds, but the wind swings SE at 15 km/h, making it a choppy, cross-onshore mess. The combined energy is a weak 110 (moderate), but the quality is shot.
The rest of the period is a dead loss. From the 10th through the 19th, we see a few days with a small pulse of 0.7ft to 1ft, sometimes with glassy conditions, like on the morning of the 15th when the wind is glassy and the swell is 0.7ft from the WSW. But the wave energy is pitiful (single digits to low double digits), and the "poor surf conditions" tag is stuck on every single entry. There’s a slight uptick in energy on the 17th morning with a 1ft, 8-second swell from the SW and clean wind, but it’s still too small to get excited about. Late on the 16th, the wind picks up to 20 km/h from the SE, and the combined energy hits 56, but it’s choppy and onshore.
Honestly, for a spot that’s already inconsistent, this is a blank run. The setup is more interesting for a kite surfer than a paddle surfer if the wind gets up, but for the rest of us, it’s time to find something else to do. Forecasts can change, but right now, there’s nowhere to go.
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.
