The Lowdown
Alright, I’m not gonna sugarcoat it. The 16-day outlook for Capo Marina is a total bummer. There’s a big ol’ hole at the start with no decent surf to speak of.
The water is sitting at 83°F, which is a whopping 7°F warmer than usual for this time of year. That’s a very unusual thing, and it just adds to the feeling that the ocean is in a bit of a funk.
The first few days, from Friday, August 7th, through the next week, are a total washout. We’re talking waves that are barely 1 feet, if that. The combined wave energy is pathetic, often showing values like 8, 12, or even 0. There’s nothing to ride. The wind is a mix of light offshore and cross-shore breezes, but with no swell, it’s all just a cruel tease.
That gap of no recommendable surf stretches for about a week and a half. There’s a little flicker on the 17th of August, with a 1.0 foot SW swell and a period of 4 seconds, but the energy is still weak (2) and the wind turns cross-on. It’s still poor.
The only real standout, and I mean the only one that gets my attention, is the morning of Friday, August 21st. The swell is still tiny at 1 feet, but it’s coming from the SW with a period of 9 seconds, the longest period we’ve seen. The combined energy nudges up to 26, which is still weak but at least shows some life. The key thing is the wind: it’s blowing NNE at 3 mph, which is offshore for Capo Marina. That means clean, glassy conditions on a wave that will be tiny and inconsistent. For a reef break that’s already inconsistent, this is a very specific, very marginal window.
If you’re a beginner, stay on the beach. The swell is too small and this break is for advanced surfers only. For the experts who know the reef, it might be a fun little session on a super clean, tiny wave. But don’t expect to get your hair wet until then.

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.
