The Lowdown

Alright folks, Rusty here. Let's have a look at what's on the menu for the next couple of weeks.

We've got a very short window of surf to start, and then it's a whole lot of flatness. The only real action is on the very first morning, Saturday the 29th of August. After that, we're staring down a long, dry spell with barely a ripple for the best part of a fortnight.

The standout is the Saturday morning session at Capo Marina. It's a tricky reef setup, so it's for the advanced crew only, and it's inconsistent, so you gotta be patient. But for one morning, it's looking like a real treat. We've got a solid 5.2ft swell from the southwest, with a period of 7 seconds – that's a short period wind swell, so it'll be a bit crumbly and not as clean as a groundswell, but the energy is moderate (374). The real winner here is the wind: it's glassy, coming from the east-southeast at just 3 mph. That means the surface will be like a mirror, making up for the short period. The water is a balmy 80.8°, which is over 5° warmer than usual for this time of year – very unusual, feels like a tropical bath. The score? It's a solid 2 out of 10 from the model, but with that glass, I'd give it a few more points in real life. Expect crowds, though, as it's a known spot.

That Saturday afternoon, the swell drops to 3.9ft and the wind swings cross-onshore, so it gets messy real quick. Then from Sunday morning onward, it's a sad story. The swell drops under 3ft, and while there are a few moments of clean, offshore wind on Monday and Tuesday mornings, the energy is just too weak – we're talking about 0.7ft to 2ft of swell. The combined energy readings are all under 100, often just single digits. There's a glassy morning on Wednesday the 2nd of September, but with zero swell, it's a flat lake. This pattern of small, weak swell and average wind conditions continues right through the second week, with the occasional 1ft bump that's not worth paddling out for. The wind is often cross or onshore, and the period stays short. There's nothing to get excited about until the 13th of September, and even then it's just 0.7ft.

So, the call is simple: if you're an advanced surfer and you can get out Saturday morning, the 29th of August, you'll be rewarded with a rare, clean, warm-water session. The rest of the 16-day window is a write-off. It's a long gap with no real surf, which is a bit of a bummer, but that's how it goes sometimes around here. Forecasts can change, but for now, that's the story.

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.
