The Lowdown
Hey folks, Rusty here. Let's not beat around the bush: the next couple of weeks look painfully slow. We're looking at a long, flat spell with only brief, weak pulses of energy, nothing even close to rideable for most of the first week. There's a small window around the 9th and 10th where we finally see some surfable waves, but they're far from inspiring. The energy is low, the periods are short, and it's going to take a lot of patience to find anything worth paddling out for. The forecast for the second week is even more tentative, so I wouldn't book any time off work just yet.
The only spot in the frame is Capo Marina, a fickle reef that's usually inconsistent. It's an advanced wave, so the few of you who make the paddle will be in for a real hunt. When we do get that small pulse on the 9th, expect waves around 3 to 3 feet from the S and SSW with a short, 6-second period. The winds will be cross-offshore, with a slight risk of thunderstorms, so it's not exactly picture-perfect. On the 10th, the swell drops slightly to 3 feet from the SW, but the period stretches to 8 seconds and we get a proper offshore breeze from the N, making it the best of a bad bunch. The energy is still weak, barely registering over 75. Then on the 11th, it's much the same, 3 feet from the SW, with a light offshore in the morning, but the onshore afternoon wind will chop it up. Water temps are running at 81°, which is a good 8° warmer than normal for this time of year, so it's like surfing in a heated pool. For the beginners out there, the lack of waves is the only thing keeping you out of trouble, since the swell never tops 5 feet. Frankly, for most of this stretch, you'd have more fun flying a kite than trying to surf. The long-range stuff is just a maybe at this point, but there's a flicker of hope for the 17th. It's still small, but it's something to dream about.
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.
