The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s be straight with you – the outlook for Capo Marina over the next couple of weeks is a bit of a dud for surfers. We’ve got a long stretch of flat, weak conditions ahead, so don’t get your hopes up too early.
The first real shot of anything surfable doesn’t roll in until Monday the 21st of September. Before that, we’re looking at a solid week of nothing worth paddling out for. From Wednesday the 9th right through to the morning of Monday the 21st, the swell is tiny or non-existent. Most days show combined wave energy values between 0 and 5 (weak), with a few small spikes up to 70 (weak) but with poor surf conditions. It’s a big gap of over a week with no real surf on offer.
Now, the only time the ocean wakes up a little is around Monday the 21st. That morning, we see a small SSE swell at 3ft, with a period of 6 seconds. The combined energy ticks up to 50 (weak), but it’s not exactly pumping. The wind is light offshore from the north, so conditions are clean. By Monday afternoon, it’s glassy with a light south wind, and the swell holds at 3ft from the SSE, with energy at 78 (weak). This is the best of the bunch, but it’s still small and short-period.
Tuesday the 22nd morning offers a similar story: 3ft from the SSE, period still 6 seconds, energy 49 (weak), with a light offshore breeze from the NNE. It’s clean, but the waves are small.
For water temp, the first surfable day on the 21st has the water at 82°F, which is a massive 9°F above normal for this time of year – that’s far warmer than usual, so you might not need a wetsuit.
Capo Marina is a reef break that’s inconsistent and only for advanced surfers. It needs a swell from the SSW to work best, but we’re getting SSE swells, so direction isn’t ideal. The waves are small, short-period, and the energy is weak. Honestly, this setup looks more interesting for a paddle or a float than for proper surfing. The crowds are only sometimes an issue, but with this little swell, it won’t matter.
The later part of the forecast, from the 23rd onward, fades back to tiny, weak swells and poor conditions. No standouts. Keep an eye on the charts, but don’t plan a trip around this one.
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.
