The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s get into it.
First up, it’s gonna be a real quiet stretch for the most part. We’ve only got one real standout window in the whole 16-day outlook, and it’s early on. After that, it’s a long, flat spell. The only break worth talking about is Capo Marina, a reef setup that’s meant for advanced surfers only and is inconsistent, so it’s a spot you gotta be patient with.
The best session by far is Saturday morning, August 29. We’ve got a clean 5 ft swell from the SW, with a period of 6 seconds. The wind is light out of the east at 3 mph, which is a cross-offshore breeze, so the faces will be smooth. The combined energy is moderate at 306. It’s the only morning that’s really worth paddling out. The water temp is about average for this time of year – nothing weird going on there.
Saturday afternoon drops off with a choppier cross-shore wind, and Sunday morning, August 30, is smaller at 3 ft with a light cross-off breeze – surfable, but nothing special. From Sunday afternoon onward, the swell just fades away into tiny, poor surf. There’s a long gap of flatness from Monday, September 1, all the way to the next tiny pulse.
We do see a little bump around Thursday morning, September 10, with a 3 ft SW swell and a 7-second period, and the wind is light and cross-offshore. The combined energy is weak at 73, so it’s just ordinary, surfable waves. Not a standout, but it’s the only other thing on the horizon. After that, it’s back to glassy mornings with no swell and poor afternoon conditions.
So, the takeaway: if you’re an advanced surfer and you’re keen, be on the water Saturday morning, August 29. After that, the forecast looks bleak for a solid week and a half. The reef can be tricky, and it doesn’t break often, so don’t expect a party.
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.
