The Lowdown
Alright folks, let’s talk about Capo Marina.
We are staring down a real slow start. There’s no surf worth mentioning until the morning of Friday, September 18th. From now until then, the ocean is giving us nothing. A few days of flatness to sit through.
That Friday morning, the 18th, is the only real highlight of the entire run. We’ve got a small 2ft swell pushing in from the south, but the wind is the real story – a clean, glassy offshore from the NNE at 9 mph. That’s perfect for the reef. The water is reading 79°, which is a massive 8° warmer than usual for this time of year – crazy warm. The combined swell energy is weak (42), so don’t expect barrels, but for one session, this is the one. It’s a shallow reef for advanced surfers only, and it’s inconsistent, so you might have to wait for a set. Crowds are possible. The swell is coming from the S, but the spot works best on a SSW, so it’s not the ideal angle, but the offshore wind will make the most of it.
After that little burst, it’s back to the quiet life. Saturday the 19th and Sunday the 20th are write-offs. There’s a tiny pulse on the morning of the 27th of September with a bit of south-east swell (1ft, energy at 16), but it’s still rated as poor. The very end of the period, around September 30th and October 1st, we see the swell bump up a touch with some clean offshore winds, but the swell is short-period and lacking any punch. The second week is looking barren – just small, weak pulses that won’t do much. For this inconsistent spot, a long blank run like this is pretty standard. On the afternoon of October 1st, the conditions are poor but the wind is clean, so if you’re a kiter, this stretch is actually more interesting than it is for a surfer.
Get on that Friday the 18th. That’s your one and only call.

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.
