Capo Marina is a city break surf spot located in Genova, making it a popular choice among local surfers and visitors alike. It's well-known within the Italian bodyboard community and offers surfable waves in a convenient urban setting. The spot is right in front of the Capo Marina beach bar, giving surfers easy access to the water while enjoying the beach atmosphere.

The best surf at Capo Marina happens when there's a big SW swell. The waves are typically short and tubey, breaking to the right over both sand and rock ledge. Ideal swell sizes range from about 1 to 3 feet (0.3 to 0.9 meters), and the optimal swell direction is from the SouthWest, but it can also work with swells coming from the South. Experienced surfers typically enjoy this spot, especially when the wind is coming from the North. The waves work well at low, mid, and high tide, but you'll find the best conditions when the tide is just right.

It's worth noting that the beach is private property of the Capo Marina bar, so surfers need to enter the water about 500 meters west of the wave area. Be prepared for some crowds, especially during the summer months, as many people flock to this city surf spot. If you're looking for a quick surf session in the heart of Genova, Capo Marina is a good option, particularly if you're an expert looking to ride challenging waves.
