The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what’s on the cards for the next couple of weeks.
Well, it’s a pretty quiet stretch ahead, to be honest. The first week is almost a write-off, with barely a ripple for days on end. We’re talking about a gap of several days with nothing worth paddling out for. Things finally start to look a bit more interesting around Thursday the 10th and into Friday the 11th, but even then, it’s not a massive event. The standout window is that 48-hour period, and it’s really your only shot at anything with a bit of punch.
Capo Marina (reef) – This is the only spot firing, being an exposed reef that needs a proper SSW swell. The water is running at 81°, which is about 8° warmer than usual, so it’s much warmer than normal for this time of year.
We start with absolutely nothing for the first week. The first real sign of life comes on Thursday the 10th. The early session is the pick, with a clean 5ft SSW swell arriving under a light offshore northerly. The combined wave energy is moderate at 235, so you’ll feel a bit of grunt. The period is a short 6 seconds, so it’ll be a bit crumbly but definitely rideable. It’s an advanced wave at the best of times, and with that size and a reef bottom, it’s not for the beginners. The afternoon cleans right up to glassy as the wind drops, but the swell backs off to a weaker 3ft.
Friday the 11th is the true standout of the entire forecast. The morning kicks off with a clean 4ft swell from the SSW, with a slightly longer 8-second period. This is where it all comes together: a light offshore breeze, combined wave energy at a solid 246, and clean conditions. The afternoon holds up beautifully too, with glassy conditions and a 4ft SSW swell still packing 201 units of energy. This is your best window right here.
After that, the plug gets pulled again. From Saturday the 12th onward, the swell drops right off, with tiny, weak waves and mostly onshore or weird winds. There is a brief moment on Tuesday the 15th morning with a clean 3ft SSW swell and 84 energy, but it’s ordinary at best. The rest of the second week is a flat, disappointing run of small closeouts and unrideable conditions. It’s a tough outlook for the long haul.
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.
