The Lowdown
Alright, this is Rusty comin' at ya from the local beach. Let's take a look at the charts for Capo Marina over the next couple of weeks.
Alright surf fam, let's be straight with each other. For the next week and a half, the forecast for Capo Marina is a tough one. We're looking at a real dry spell, with nothing but tiny, weak leftovers and poor conditions dominating from Wednesday the 12th through Friday the 21st of August. That's a solid ten days where the swell energy is in the single digits or low double digits, barely pushing out a ripple. You’ll see morning offshores or glassy conditions, but with wave heights under 2.3ft and periods of 4 to 6 seconds, it's just not worth paddling out for anything substantial. It’s going to be flat and frustrating.
The only flicker of hope in this whole forecast comes on Saturday, the 22nd of August. The morning is where you'll want to be in the water. We finally get a pulse of SSW groundswell pushing in at 3.6ft, with a period of 7 seconds. The combined energy jumps to a moderate 133, which is the first real sign of life. But the real kicker is the wind: glassy off the WNW. That means clean, smooth faces at an advanced, inconsistent reef break like this one. For those who know Capo Marina, it needs that specific direction – best from the SSW – and we're getting it, with near-perfect conditions. It’s a rare window of quality for a spot that doesn't break that often.
By the afternoon though, the wind swings onshore from the S at 12 mph, and it's all over. Then Sunday the 23rd brings a bigger, messier 5.2ft SW swell, but it's plagued by cross-onshore winds, making it a choppy, poor session for anyone.
So, to wrap it up: if you've got patience, the standout is undoubtedly Saturday morning, August 22nd, at Capo Marina. It’s the one day where everything aligns for that quick, clean window. The rest of the period? Honestly, give the board a rest and go for a paddle.

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.
