The Lowdown
G’day, I’m Rusty, and I’ve been staring at this stretch of coast for a while now. The outlook is a bit of a dud to be honest – a real flat spell with almost nothing on offer for weeks. The only break that gets a look-in here is Capo Marina, a tricky reef set-up that rarely breaks and only really works for advanced crew. The water is sitting at 27° with an anomaly of 4° warmer than usual – that’s seriously unusual for this time of year, the warmest it ever gets around here.
Right from the start, Thursday the 3rd and Friday the 4th are dead flat with tiny dribbles and offshore winds, not worth paddling for. Saturday the 5th offers a whisper of swell at 0.5 ft from the SW with a short 5-second period, but the cross-onshore breeze kills it. The combined energy is just a pathetic 14 (weak energy). It’s a no-go.
Sunday the 6th through to Tuesday the 8th stay flat with clean, glassy mornings but no wave height. You could waterski, not surf.
A bit of hope pops up on Wednesday the 9th in the morning: a south swell at 3 ft with a 7-second period, combined energy registering 123 (moderate energy). The wind is light and cross-offshore, which means clean lines. It’s the only window of the entire 16 days with anything close to rideable, but it’s tiny – only for a longboard or a foiler. It gets a score of 1, but it’s still poor. The afternoon goes to rubbish with a storm risk and cross-shore wind.
After that, from Thursday the 10th right through to Thursday the 17th, it’s a long, dry gap. The wind blows strong offshore or cross-off some days but there’s no swell to push. The only whimper comes on Thursday the 17th in the morning with a tiny 0.7 ft from the WSW at 7 seconds – combined energy of 7, so basically nothing. It’s clean with a light offshore, but you’d be scratching for a ripple.
Overall, this region is serving up a big fat zero. There’s nothing for beginners, nothing for experts, and nothing for anyone in between. The setup looks more interesting for a kite session than paddle surfing on the rare days there’s any wind at all. Forecasts can change, but for now, don’t hold your breath.

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.
