The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here. Let’s break down what’s on offer for Capo Marina over the next couple of weeks.
This is a rough patch, no two ways about it. For a spot that’s already an advanced-only reef and inconsistent, the first week and a half is mostly dead flat or tiny with rubbish winds. From now until the 29th, there’s barely a wave worth paddling for, and even then it’s mostly small and poor. The water temp is sitting at a very unusual 82°, which is much warmer than normal for this time of year—so at least you’ll be comfortable floating around.
The one day that stands out is the morning of September 9th. That’s your best bet by a long shot. We get a proper pulse of 8ft swell from the SW with an 8-second period, combined energy hitting 1086 (strong stuff). The wind is offshore from the N at 9 mph, keeping it clean. But remember, this is an advanced wave, and anything over 8ft is strictly for experts. The swell direction from the SW lines up with Capo Marina’s sweet spot (SSW), so the reef should focus it well. September 9th morning is the only session that really matters—big, clean, and heavy.
Outside of that, there’s not much to get excited about. The Saturday morning of the 29th has 5ft and clean conditions with light offshore, but the period is only 7 seconds and the wind is cross-off, so the shape might be average. Still, it’s the only other session with any size and clean air—worth a look if you’re itching for a paddle.
For the rest of the outlook, it’s tiny scraps, onshore chop, or flat spells. There’s a big gap from August 31st to September 8th where the energy is almost zero. For a break that’s already inconsistent, this kind of blank run is pretty normal around here. Forecasts can shift, but right now, September 9th morning is your shot.
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.
