The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s be straight with you – this is a tough one. We’ve got a 16-day window staring at us, and honestly, it’s looking like a long, flat spell for Capo Marina. There’s a big gap of days with no real swell to speak of, so if you’re itching to paddle out, you’ll need to be patient. The first time we see anything that even whispers “surfable” is on Monday the 27th of July, and even then, it’s a whisper.
The water temperature is sitting at a very unusual 83°F, which is a whopping 8°F warmer than normal for this time of year. That’s a real anomaly – you’ll feel like you’re in a bath.
The only real glimmer in this whole outlook comes on Monday, the 27th of July. The morning session will see a tiny 2 ft swell from the SSE, with a period of 8 seconds. The combined energy is a weak 91, so it’s really just a pulse of energy. The wind is offshore from the North at 6 mph, which will keep the surface clean. The guidance says this spot is an advanced, inconsistent reef break, and it needs a specific SSW swell direction to really fire. This SSE swell is not the ideal direction, and the waves will be small and short-period. It’s surfable, but barely. The afternoon sees the wind swing cross-shore, and the energy drops off to 30, so don’t expect much.
After that, it’s back to nothing. The rest of the forecast is a desert. From Tuesday the 28th right through to Wednesday the 5th of August, we’re looking at flatness. Wave heights are virtually zero, and the wind, while often light, is blowing onshore or cross-onshore, which would just mess up anything that might try to form. For a spot that’s already inconsistent, this is a completely normal blank run for this area. You’re better off tying some knots in your line or finding a different hobby until the charts start looking better.
Stay patient,
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.
