The Lowdown
Alright, this is Rusty. Let me tell ya, we’ve got a dry spell on our hands at Capo Marina. The next week or so is a real bummer for surfers.
For the first few days, from the 11th through the 17th, it’s totally flat. Clean skies, but absolutely no swell. You’re looking at a lot of days with zero wave energy. It’s a real test of patience.
We finally get a tiny hiccup on the morning of Sunday, August 18th. A little 2ft SSW swell shows up, but with a period of only 6 seconds and weak energy (34), it’s barely worth a mention. The wind is light offshore from the NNE, so it will be clean, but the waves are just too small to get excited about.
The one and only real chance comes on Sunday, August 23rd. The morning is your best bet. Capo Marina gets a 5ft SSW swell with a 7-second period and moderate energy (171). The wind is glassy, dead calm from the NNE. That is the winning ticket for this forecast. It’s small, but it’s clean and surfable. The afternoon gets a little more power (208) but the wind swings onshore, so the morning is the golden window. Monday the 24th offers a smaller 3ft wave in the morning, but still clean with a light offshore breeze, which is a decent runner-up.
For beginners, the largest swell we see is only 5ft, so it’s not too big, but the inconsistency is the killer. This reef doesn’t break often, and we’re looking at a long flat run before any real action. It might look good for a kiteboarder with the flat water, but for a surfer, you’re banking everything on that Sunday morning session.
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.
