The Lowdown
Hey folks, Rusty here. Let’s cut through the fluff and look at Capo Marina for the next couple of weeks. I gotta be straight with you: this is a real slow period of surf. For a spot that’s already inconsistent, we’re looking at a long stretch of flat or near-flat conditions.
Your only real chance to get wet starts on Sunday, August 30th, in the morning. We've got a tiny southwesterly swell pushing in at about 3ft. The wind is light and offshore out of the northeast, so the surface will be clean. The water temperature is a warm 81°, which is much warmer than usual for this time of year—real comfortable. The overall energy is weak, sitting at 47 (combined energy), so it’s a soft, mellow little wave. Good for a cruise on the reef, but don't expect any power. Crowds are possible here sometimes, so you might have some company. The afternoon sees a cross-onshore wind kick up and the surf drops fast, so keep it to the morning session.
From Monday the 31st of August all the way through to Saturday morning the 5th of September, it’s pretty much a total wipeout. Barely a bump of energy, and what’s there is tiny with poor wind. You’re looking at over a week of flatness.
Come Saturday the 5th of September, there’s a weak hint of life in the afternoon—about 2ft from the south-southwest, but a cross-onshore wind makes it sloppy. Not worth the effort. The second week is more of the same: scraps. Sunday the 6th has a 1ft swell with a short 8-second period, but the wind is okay. The real tease is the glassy afternoon on Thursday the 11th of September and a clean offshore on the morning of Friday the 12th, but the swell is all but gone—barely a ripple.
So here’s the truth: Sunday morning, August 30th, is the only real standout. It’s small, it’s clean, and it’s the best we’ve got. For the rest of this 16-day run, you’ll be looking at a whole lot of flat water. Stay patient, or find something else to do.
Take it easy,
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.
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.
