The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let's take a hard look at what's coming up for Marina Romea. I gotta be straight with you – this is a tough one. The next couple of weeks are looking barren. We've got some very small swell on the cards, but it's just not doing anything for us. The combined wave energy stays weak throughout, mostly between 1 and 54, so there's no power in the water at all. The setup here is a river mouth, and it’s inconsistent at the best of times. We're looking at a 16-day window with essentially nothing rideable worth paddling out for. There are no standout sessions, no hidden gems. Just a whole lot of flat, small, and messy. Even the best of it is poor surf conditions. That's just how it goes here sometimes – a blank run like this is pretty normal for the area.
Things start quiet on Thursday the 20th, with a tiny 2ft from the SE, cross-on wind at 16 mph, and combined energy of just 7. Choppy and poor. That’s the story for the first few days – tiny swell, cross-off or glassy winds on the Friday morning, but still just 2ft. The water temp is sitting at 84°F, which is much warmer than normal for the time of year, so at least you can have a nice float. But for surfing? Nothing doing.
Saturday the 22nd and Sunday the 23rd offer a bit of glassy calm in the mornings, with a clean surface, but the swell barely reaches 1ft - 2ft. You might catch a knee-high lump if you're desperate. The pattern of tiny, weak swell carries on through the whole next week. We see a few afternoons with clean conditions, like Friday the 28th with a cross-off wind, but the swell is just 2ft at 13 energy. Not enough to get excited about.
The best-looking window might be Saturday morning the 29th of August, with an offshore wind from WSW at 12 mph and a clean surface, but the swell is a pathetic 0.3ft with combined energy of 1. Even a log isn't going to get you anywhere on that.
Then into the first week of September, it’s the same story. Tiny swell, low energy, and mostly poor surf. There’s a chance of glassy conditions on Thursday morning the 3rd of September, but again, the swell is only 1.0ft. There’s just no oomph behind it.
To sum it up: if you’re a kite surfer, the strong cross-off winds on the 28th and 29th of August might look interesting, but for a paddle surfer, this forecast is a write-off. The swell is too small, the period is too short, and the energy is too weak to produce anything rideable. Keep an eye on the forecasts – they can change, but for now, maybe take a week off and wash the car.

Information about the Marina Romea Surf forecast
The above surf forecast table for Marina Romea provides essential information for determining whether the surfing conditions will be good over the next 16 days. A general guide to surfing at Marina Romea can be found by selecting the local surf guide option on the grey menu. Our Marina Romea 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 (Marina Romea) 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 Marina Romea 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.
