The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here. Let's have a look at what’s coming up for Capo Marina.
The next couple of weeks are a bit of a mixed bag, but there’s a sharp highlight right at the start of the window that’s worth getting excited about, especially if you’re an advanced surfer. The water is running a very warm 83°—that's a hefty 7° warmer than usual for this time of year, so you can ditch the thick rubber.
Saturday, August 22nd, morning is your standout. Capo Marina is a reef break, exposed to the SSW swell, and it’s pulling in a clean 5ft from the SSW with a period of 8 seconds. The wind is a light offshore from the N at 6 mph, keeping the surface clean. The combined energy is moderate at 213, meaning there’s some proper push behind it. This is the best on offer—clean, punchy reef sets for those with the skills. It’s an inconsistent break, so you’ll need patience, and when the waves do come, it’ll be for the advanced crew only. Crowds can show up sometimes, but with the solid swell and offshore breeze, it’s worth sharing a few waves for.
That morning session fades by the afternoon as the swell drops to 3ft, but the wind goes glassy from the ESE at 3 mph. It’s surfable, but very ordinary conditions after the morning’s peak.
After that, we hit a long, quiet stretch. From Sunday the 23rd right through to the morning of Friday the 28th, it’s a flat spell with only tiny, weak leftovers. Nothing worth paddling out for.
Things wake up again on Saturday, August 29th, morning. The offshore wind returns from the NNE at 9 mph, grooming a 5ft swell from the SW (6-second period). The combined energy jumps back up to a moderate 255, so it’s another session with decent welly. The wind is offshore and clean, making the reef look inviting again for the advanced surfers. Keep the crowds in mind—they can pop up here—but the quality is there.
The following days into early September are poor again, with a tiny bump on September 6th morning showing a glassy 4ft from the SSW, but the energy is moderate (150) and the conditions are ordinary at best. Nothing else worth chasing in this window.
So, to boil it down: the standout is Saturday August 22nd morning. If you miss that, the backup is Saturday August 29th morning. Everything else is flat or messy.
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.
