The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s be straight with you – the next couple of weeks at Capo Marina are looking pretty flat. There’s a long stretch of nothing, so we’re going to talk about the whole picture, not just the good stuff.
The forecast opens with a real dud. Wednesday the 22nd we’ve got tiny 0.3ft to 1.0ft of weak, short-period swell from the SW. Combined energy is a measly 1 to 5. It’s clean, but it’s barely a ripple. Thursday the 23rd through Saturday the 26th? Forget it. Days of zeros across the board. A full gap of no surf to speak of.
We finally get a tiny pulse on Monday the 27th. A bit of 2ft groundswell from the SW with a 7-second period. The morning is clean with a light offshore wind from the N, and the combined energy hits 62. It’s surfable, but it’s very ordinary. The best of the whole run is probably Tuesday the 28th. The morning has 2ft from the SW, 8-second period, a clean offshore wind from the N, and 41 energy. It’s not big, but it’s the cleanest, most presentable wave we’ll see. The afternoon turns glassy, but the swell drops to 2ft.
After that, it’s back to the doldrums. From the 29th of July through to the 6th of August, we’re looking at tiny, weak swells or nothing at all. A few mornings might have a light offshore or glassy wind, but the waves are just too small to get excited about. The 3rd of August morning has a 0.7ft SSE pulse with a 9 mph offshore NNE wind, but it’s just not enough to paddle for.
Honestly, for a reef break that is inconsistent and needs a proper SSW swell, this is a rough run. If you’re desperate for a paddle, the Tuesday the 28th morning is your only real window, and even then, keep your expectations low. The combined energy never gets above 62, so it’s all weak. The water temperature is about average for this time of year.
This is a flat spell, plain and simple.
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.
