The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let's check out what's cookin' at Capo Marina over the next couple of weeks.
Honestly, this is a tough one. We're looking at a real flat spell across the entire 16-day window. The first recommendation doesn't even pop up until Tuesday morning, September 1st, and even then it's a pretty sad affair. The pattern is basically a long stretch of nothing much, with a few tiny, weak pulses that barely register.
The first bit of action comes on the morning of Tuesday, September 1st. Capo Marina sees a small 3 ft S swell pushing in, but it's a short-period 6 seconds. The combined swell energy is a measly (65). There's a light NNE offshore breeze, so it'll be clean, but the waves will be lacking any punch. That afternoon, the wind swings onshore and the swell drops to 1 ft, making it a write-off. The following days are a real struggle, with days of near-zero surf and clean, glassy conditions on a flat ocean all the way through to the 3rd, 4th, and 5th of September. It's the kind of scene where you'd be better off with a paddleboard than a surfboard.
The next tiny blip appears on the morning of Thursday, September 10th. A 2 ft S swell with a period of 5 seconds shows up in the afternoon. The energy is still weak (15). The wind is cross-onshore though, so it'll be choppy and messy. Not a good look.
The longest gap of anything rideable is from the 5th of September right through to the 9th, with nothing but zeros. To be honest, the whole period is a blank run. There's a very small window on the morning of Saturday, September 12th, with a clean 0.3 ft swell and a NNE offshore breeze, but it's a shadow of a wave. The swell energy is just (3). The best we can really say is that the morning of Wednesday, September 16th offers a glassy 1 ft SW swell with a slightly better 8-second period. The energy is still only (22). It's clean, but there's nothing to get excited about. For a reef break that's already inconsistent, this is a total washout. If there's any swell at all, the strong cross-onshore winds on the 11th might make this more interesting for kite surfers than anyone else.
Rusty, signing off.

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.
