The Lowdown
Alright, let me be straight with you. I’ve looked at the Diano Marina forecast for the next 16 days, and honestly, there’s not much to get excited about. This spot is already an inconsistent beginner break, and this run is a total blanker. The only half-decent pulse comes on Saturday July 18 afternoon – a tiny 2ft SSW swell with a short 4-second period, light SE onshore wind at 6 mph. The water’s a balmy 82°F, which is a whopping 9°F warmer than normal for this time of year. But the combined energy is only 28 – weak – and the wave comment says “poor surf conditions”. After that, it’s a long, dry stretch. Sunday July 19 morning shows 2ft SW swell with a 5-second period, NNE cross-offshore wind at 6 mph, clean but still tiny (energy 25). The rest of the week is dominated by flat spells or tiny, choppy onshore slop. There’s a glassy morning on July 25 Saturday but with zero swell. The only other little bump comes on Sunday July 26 morning – 2ft SW swell at 6 seconds, NNE cross-offshore, energy 36 – still weak and not enough to make it worthwhile. Tuesday July 28 onward is mostly flat again. For a break that’s already inconsistent, this kind of 16-day gap is pretty normal. You’d be better off leaving the board at home and going for a swim. No standouts, no recommendations. Keep an eye on the charts, but for now, it’s a no-go.

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