Capo Marina Surf Forecast and Surf Report

Alright, let’s get into it. It’s Rusty here, giving you the honest rundown for Capo Marina over the next couple of weeks.

Right off the bat, we’ve got a tough stretch. The first week is basically a write-off. From Saturday the 15th through to Friday the 21st, there’s nothing doing – just flat spells and junk conditions. You’re looking at a solid seven days with zero surf worth paddling out for. A few tiny pulses show up here and there, like Monday morning the 17th with a 1 ft SW windswell and a period of just 4 seconds, but that weak energy (5) won’t even get you a proper ride. Rest of that week is the same story: little dribbles, onshore crud, or dead flat.

Finally, around Saturday the 22nd, things start to stir. Saturday morning brings a glassy session with the wind dead calm – that’s a big positive. Swell comes in at 4 ft from the SSW, with a 6-second period. Combined energy reads 163, so you’re into moderate territory. The surf is there, but the wave comment says “surfable but ordinary” – it’s not gonna be epic, just rideable. The afternoon gets messy with a light cross-onshore, but the morning window is your best shot.

Now, onto the standout. Sunday the 23rd morning is the real highlight. We’ve got 6 ft of SW swell, with a 7-second period, and the wind is a light cross-offshore from the ENE – clean conditions. Combined energy kicks up to 410. That’s your best wave of the period. Capo Marina is an advanced reef break, it’s inconsistent, and crowds are possible, but for a Sunday morning session, this is where you want to be. The swell direction is SSW which matches the optimum for this spot. The water temp is about average for this time of year, nothing wild.

Monday the 24th morning is a solid backup: 5 ft from the SSW, 7-second period, light cross-offshore wind, and combined energy at 228. Clean again, but the afternoon gets hammered by a 12 mph SSE onshore and energy jumps to 391 – that late window is a choppy mess, so stick to the morning.

After that, it fizzles out fast. Tuesday the 25th through to Saturday the 30th is back to tiny, weak swell – mostly under 2 ft, short period, and onshore or cross-shore winds. The morning of the 30th is flat. That’s it.

Bottom line: you’ve got one true standout morning on Sunday the 23rd, with a backup Monday the 24th morning. For a break that’s inconsistent, those clean windows are worth chasing.
