The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here. Let's talk about what's on offer in this corner of the world. To be straight with you, it's looking like a bit of a bust for a good while.
We've got Capo Marina on the radar, a tricky little reef setup that's for the advanced crew and doesn't break often. The water is cooking at 82°F, which is much warmer than normal for this time of year – that's a 9°F anomaly, pretty wild.
Now, looking ahead, the honest truth is there's nothing worth getting excited about. We've got a run of days stretching from September 6th all the way through the rest of the forecast period that are just flat or offering tiny, weak dribbles. The combined swell energy is bottoming out, with readings of just 6 (weak energy) on the 6th, and then a whole lot of zeros or single-digit numbers after that. You're looking at tiny swells from the SSW and SW, mostly under 2ft, with short periods of 4 to 6 seconds – just wind chop, not real surf.
The winds do look clean at times – that offshore NNE and glassy conditions pop up on a few mornings and afternoons – but there's simply no swell to work with. When there's a little bump around the 9th and 10th, it's accompanied by risk of thunderstorms and cross-onshore winds that'll chop it up anyway. Honestly, this setup is more interesting for the kite crew than for us paddle surfers.
The only faint glimmer is a tiny little 0.7ft to 1.0ft pulse from the SSE around the 19th and 20th, but with combined energy at 1 or 2, it's not going to do anything. This break is inconsistent at the best of times, so a blank run like this is more normal for the area.
Keep an eye on the charts, but for now, leave the board in the car.

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.
