The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s take a long, hard look at what’s on the table for Capo Marina over the next couple of weeks.
Honestly, it’s a tough stretch ahead. The next several days are a write-off for any proper surf, with tiny, weak, and mostly onshore or cross-onshore slop. We’ve got a real dry spell from now all the way through to the morning of Thursday the 28th of August. That’s over a week of nothing worth paddling out for. No recommendations until then.
The only real standout in this whole 16-day window lands on the morning of Friday, the 28th of August. That morning finally brings some life to Capo Marina, an advanced reef break that is inconsistent and exposed to the swell. We’re looking at clean conditions with a light offshore breeze from the North at 6 mph. The swell is showing 4 ft from the Southwest with a 9-second period – that’s a proper groundswell with some push. The combined energy is moderate at best (238), so it’s not a monster session, but after such a long flat spell, this is easily the best on offer. The swell direction lines up nicely with the break’s optimum. Keep in mind for advanced surfers only at this size; it’s a bit much for beginners.
After that Friday morning window, it fades back to tiny and flat again heading into the weekend and the start of September. Saturday the 29th and Sunday the 30th of August have bits of glassy, clean mornings but with swell barely reaching 1 ft, it’s not surfable. The first few days of September look completely flat with zero energy.
So, the call is simple: wait it out. That Friday morning on the 28th is your one shot. Everything else is a bust.
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.
