The Lowdown
Alright, this is Rusty. Let’s have a look at what’s on offer for the next couple of weeks.
Honestly, it’s a quiet stretch ahead. The first few days are tiny, and we’ve got a long gap with no real surf to speak of right in the middle. We’re looking at Capo Marina, a reef break that needs a solid SSW swell to really fire, and it’s just not getting that for a while.
The first little pulse shows up on the morning of Sunday, July 19th. We’ll see a clean 3 ft swell from the SW, with a period of 6 seconds, and a light wind from the north holding it together. The combined energy is only 59, so it’s weak, but it’s the best we’ve seen so far. That afternoon the wind swings west and it gets a bit messy. From Monday, July 20th, we drop right back down to nothing – 0.3 ft to 0.7 ft for a few days, and then from the 22nd all the way through the 24th, there’s literally zero swell showing. Flat.
The next chance comes around Saturday, July 25th. A small 2 ft SSW swell pushes in, with a 5-second period, and clean conditions on the morning. Combined energy is only 10 – still very weak. Sunday the 26th sees a slight bump: 2 ft from the SW with a 6-second period, combined energy of 35. The morning is clean, but the afternoon gets a cross-onshore wind. That’s about as good as it gets – and it’s not saying much.
The standout here is the Sunday morning, July 19th. The 3 ft SW swell with offshore north wind will give you the cleanest, most rideable waves of the whole run. It’s not big, but it’s the only window where the conditions line up. Cheap little waves for the experienced crew – this is an advanced reef, and it’s inconsistent, so you’ll have it mostly to yourself, though crowds are possible sometimes.
The rest of the period is flat or near-flat. A real slow spell. If you’re desperate, the 25th and 26th mornings offer tiny clean waves, but you’ll be scratching for them.
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.
