The Lowdown
Not much happening at Capo Marina over the next couple of weeks. This reef break is inconsistent at the best of times, and the charts are showing a whole lot of nothing for most of the 16-day window. The water is way warmer than usual for this time of year, sitting at 83°, a massive 7.6° above normal – that’s a real surprise for July.
The first bit of surf worth paddling for comes on Sunday 19th morning. A small SSW swell of 3ft, period 6 seconds, with a light cross-off breeze from the NNW at 6 mph. The combined energy is weak (64), but the clean conditions make it rideable. It’s not big, not powerful, but if you’re desperate for a few fun waves, you’ll get something. Expect it to be a bit inconsistent – that’s the nature of the spot.
Then we hit a long stretch of flat days from Monday 20th through to Saturday 25th. Nothing. Nada. Zero energy. The wind is light, but there’s simply no swell.
The next real chance is Sunday 26th morning – that’s over a week away, so keep an eye on the forecasts. A slightly bigger S swell of 4.5ft, still short period at 6 seconds, but with glassy conditions thanks to a light easterly breeze at 3 mph. The combined energy is moderate (177), and the glassy surface will make it look clean. Still, the short period means the waves won’t have much grunt, and the reef setup might not link up perfectly. For an advanced surfer, it’s a worthwhile session – but don’t expect any barrels.
After that, it’s back to flat. By the end of the month, there’s nothing on the horizon. If you’re set on getting wet, make the most of the 19th and 26th, but temper your expectations

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.
