The Lowdown
Alright, this is Rusty, and I’ve been studying the charts for the next couple of weeks. Honestly, it’s a grim stretch for the most part. We’re looking at a long run of flat, tiny, or just messy conditions before we finally get a spike of energy that’s worth getting out of bed for.
For the first nine days, from Saturday, August 8th, all the way through to Sunday, August 16th, it’s a total washout. There’s nothing to ride. The swell is almost non-existent, with the odd tiny ripple barely reaching 1 foot. The water is way warmer than usual for this time of year, sitting at a balmy 83°, but that’s the only good thing. Don’t bother paddling out; you’ll just be floating around.
We finally get a pulse of life on Monday, August 17th, in the morning. Capo Marina (reef) will see a bump of 3 feet of SSW swell, but it’s super short-period stuff at 6 seconds. The combined energy is weak (64), so it’s not going to have much push. The wind is a light cross-offshore, which will keep it pretty clean, but it’s only rated as ordinary. It’s a marginal option for the desperate.
The real standout, and the only one I’d call a true highlight, is on Thursday, August 20th. The morning session at Capo Marina is where it’s at. We’ve got a solid 6 feet of SW swell, with a period of 7 seconds, and the combined energy jumps up to moderate (425). The wind is a light offshore breeze, making for clean conditions. This is the best wave of the forecast. It’s a bit of a jump in size, so it’s better for intermediate to advanced surfers, but it should offer some proper waves. This is a reef break, so it can handle that angle. Just know that it’s an inconsistent spot, so don’t expect a wave every minute, and crowds are possible. The rest of that day fades fast, and the following days sink back into tiny, weak dribble.
So, to sum it up: you’ve got a 9-day wait for flatness, a bit of a nothing-burger on the 17th, and then one clear winner on the morning of the 20th. The rest is a bust.
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.
