The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s look at what’s on the menu for the next couple of weeks. Honestly, it’s a pretty bleak picture for paddle surfing. The whole 16-day window is a write-off. There's not a single surfable day in sight, so we’re looking at a solid stretch of flat, small, or just plain messy conditions.
The first sniff of anything that might get your hopes up only comes at the very end of the first week, but it's not enough to get wet for. Even then, the swell is tiny and the wind is on it. The best we can say is that the water is running a lot warmer than usual for this time of year, sitting at a balmy 82°, which is a good 6° above normal. That’s pretty unusual for the area.
If you’re dead set on checking the water, the only spot with any real potential is Capo Marina (reef). It’s an advanced, inconsistent reef break that only works on a solid SSW swell. But the problem is, the swell just isn't there. For the entire 16 days, we’re talking about ankle-to-knee-high dribble at best, with wave heights struggling to even reach 2 ft. The combined energy is pitiful, maxing out at a weak 26, and it's often down in the single digits. That’s not enough to push a wave you can ride.
The wind does offer a few clean, glassy mornings, like on the 31st of July and the 2nd of August, but there’s simply no swell to go with it. You’d be staring at a flat ocean. For anyone with a kite, there might be a few afternoons with a light cross-onshore breeze and a tiny bit of texture, but it’s not enough to get excited about.
Honestly, save your energy. This is one of those long dry spells where the ocean just shuts down. It’s not a bad time to wax the board, fix a ding, or just go for a swim. Things can change, but right now, it’s a hard pass.
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.
