The Lowdown
Alright folks, it’s your local surf reporter Rusty here, and I gotta give it to you straight: it’s as flat as a pancake out at Capo Marina. Looking over this whole 16-day forecast, we’re mostly staring at a whole lot of nothing. We’re in for a serious waiting game.
The first few days, from Friday the 4th through to Tuesday the 8th, are an absolute washout for surf. Swell heights are barely a ripple, like 0.1 meters, and the energy is basically non-existent. The ocean will be clean and glassy at times, but there’s not a single wave worth paddling for. This is the dead zone.
Then on Wednesday the 9th, there's a tease. A pulse from the south brings the swell up to 1.0 meters, but with a short, weak 6-second period and the threat of thunderstorms and a cross-onshore wind, it’ll be messy and weak. You can count the energy on one hand. Not good.
It cleans up a bit on Thursday the 10th with a cross-offshore breeze, but it’s still tiny—just 0.4 meters of weak south swell. Not enough push to do anything with. Another one to skip.
And then we’re right back to the flatness. From Friday the 11th all the way until Monday the 14th, it’s a total shutout. Zero swell, zero energy. This is the kind of run that sends you to the boat ramp. There’s just nothing doing.
Finally, on Tuesday the 15th, the ocean shows a pulse. We see the swell bump up to about 0.9 meters from the south in the afternoon. It’s the biggest we’ve seen, but the period is still a weak 6 seconds and the energy is not even in triple digits. It’s surfable for a foam board if you’re keen, but it’s pretty ordinary. The clean conditions from the light wind are about the only saving grace.
Wednesday the 16th brings a slightly longer period at 9 seconds, which is a better shape, but the size drops back down to 0.4 meters. It’ll be clean with a nice offshore breeze, but you’ll be scratching for any sort of ride.
All in all, there is no standout in this whole window. The best of a bad bunch is the 15th, and even that is a stretch. This is a famous reef break, but it just won’t be breaking. Water temp is a very warm 27°C, which is way above average for this time of year, but that only matters if you’re swimming. I’ve seen flat spells before, but this is a long one. Keep your board in the car, but don't get your hopes up. Forecasts can change, but you wouldn’t bet on it right now.
Rusty out.

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.
