The Lowdown
G’day, Rusty here. Let’s break down what’s on offer at Capo Marina. Honestly, this 16-day window is a lean one. There’s a big dry spell at the start, then a tiny blip of surf, and then nothing again. Let’s get into it.
Right now, from Thursday 23 July through to the morning of Monday 27 July, it’s totally flat or just junk. That’s four straight days with nothing to ride. Leave the board in the car.
Then on Monday 27 July morning, we finally see a little bump. Swell hits about 2ft from the SSE, with a period of 7 seconds – that’s short-period windswell, not much travel behind it. Wind is light cross-offshore from the NE at 3 mph, so the surface is clean. Combined wave energy is weak at 53. It’s surfable but nothing special. For an advanced reef like Capo Marina, it’s barely a wave, but if you’re keen, you might get a few grovelly ones. Water temp is 84°F, which is a staggering 8°F warmer than usual – incredibly warm.
After that, it fades fast. Tuesday 28 July morning has about 1ft from the SSE, 7-second period, with a clean offshore N wind at 6 mph, but energy is only 24. Wednesday 29 July morning is even smaller, 0.7ft from the SSE, 8-second period, light offshore NNE breeze. Clean but tiny. Thursday 30 July morning is just 0.3ft. Then from Friday 31 July morning onward into early August, it’s back to zero – no swell at all. The whole first half of August is flat, flat, flat.
So, the only real standout – and I mean the only one – is Monday 27 July morning. It’s the biggest and cleanest we get, but 2ft of 7-second SSE windswell at an inconsistent, advanced reef isn’t something to get excited about. Good wind, warm water, but no power. This spot rarely breaks as it is, and in this outlook, it barely whispers. For kiteboarders, the onshore afternoons might be more interesting than paddling.
Hang tight – it usually doesn’t stay this quiet forever, and forecasts can always flip. But for now, it’s a whole lot of flat water.
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.
