The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what’s on offer for this stretch of coast. We’re looking at the next 16 days, and honestly, it’s a game of patience. There’s a promising pulse of swell coming in the second week, but the first week is mostly a write-off, with a long stretch of flat or poor conditions.
The standout window looks to be around Wednesday, September 9th. That’s over a week away, so keep an eye on it, but it’s the one that’s really got my attention. That morning, we’ve got a clean 5ft swell rolling in from the SW, with a period of 8 seconds. The wind will be a light offshore from the ENE, which is a huge plus, making for clean faces. The combined wave energy is moderate, sitting at 283. It’s not a monster, but it’s the best on the board. The spot to be is Capo Marina – a reef break that’s for advanced surfers only, and it’s inconsistent, so don’t expect it to be pumping every day. When it’s on, it’s on. The water is running at 81°, which is much warmer than normal for this time of year, a solid 7° above average. That’s very unusual.
Before that, we’ve got a lot of flat and messy days. The first real bump of surfable energy comes on Saturday, August 29th, with a 5ft swell from the SW. But the wind is cross-shore, and the conditions are only marginal. The energy is moderate at 358, but it’s not clean enough to get excited about. Sunday, August 30th, offers a smaller 3ft SSW swell early with an offshore NE wind, making it clean, but the energy is weak at 56. It’s surfable, but very ordinary.
Then we hit a wall. From Monday, August 31st, through to Monday, September 7th, it’s flat or virtually flat. There’s a few tiny pulses, but nothing worth paddling out for. The peak of that dry spell is from September 2nd to September 7th, where the combined energy is basically zero.
After the Wednesday, September 9th stand-out, we see a drop-off. Thursday, September 10th has a small 2ft SW swell with offshore winds, but the energy is weak at 37. The rest of the forecast period fades back into flatness.
So, to sum it up: the first week is a long, slow blank. The only real standout is Wednesday, September 9th. If you’re an advanced surfer and can be patient, that’s your window. For the rest of us, it’s a waiting game.
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.
