The Lowdown
Alright, this is Rusty, and I’m looking at the outlook for Capo Marina.
Right off the bat, I gotta be straight with you – this is a tough stretch. We’re looking at a 16-day window that starts with a long, quiet gap. There’s nothing worth paddling out for until the morning of Sunday, July 19th, and even then, it’s a pretty weak offering.
The first sign of life is on Sunday morning, July 19th. We’ve got a tiny 3ft swell pushing in from the SSW, with a short period of just 6 seconds. The wind is a light cross-off from the NNW at 6 mph, which will keep the surface clean. The combined wave energy is pretty weak (40). It’s surfable but very ordinary. The water is a notable 83°, which is *much warmer than normal* for this time of year, so at least you won’t need a thick suit. But honestly, this is a beginner-only kind of day. The swell is too small and weak for anything exciting.
After that, things go completely flat for a long stretch. From Sunday afternoon, July 19th, all the way through to Monday morning, July 27th, there’s basically nothing. Some days have zero swell, and the few tiny pulses that show up are so small they’re not worth talking about. You’re looking at a solid week of no surf.
The next potential window pops up on Tuesday, July 28th. The morning brings a 5ft swell from the SSE with a 7-second period. The combined energy jumps up to a moderate 306, which is the most we’ve seen. But the wind is a light cross-shore from the ESE at 6 mph, which will leave the surface a bit messy. This is marginal – the size is getting into the "too big for beginners" range, but the quality isn't great. The afternoon is similar, with a 4ft swell and cross-shore winds. It’s not a standout, just the best of a bad bunch.
After that, from Wednesday, July 29th, onward, we’re back to tiny, weak swells and mostly poor conditions until the end of the forecast period on August 3rd.
So, to sum it up: If you’re desperate, the morning of Sunday, July 19th, offers the cleanest but smallest waves. The only real pulse of energy is on Tuesday, July 28th, but with poor wind and a beach/reef setup, it’s a gamble. For the most part, this is a blank run, and it’s pretty normal for this area to go quiet. Forecasts can change, but as it stands, don’t hold your breath.
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.
