The Lowdown
Alright, let me tell you what I’m seeing for Diano Marina. Honestly, it’s been a tough stretch, and we’re looking at a long, flat run to start. The first real chance for anything resembling a surf comes from the 18th of September onward, but it’s a long wait. There’s a noticeable gap of about 10 days from the start of the forecast period with no real surf to speak of.
Alright, let’s talk about the only real option on the table.
Diano Marina – This is a beginner-friendly spot, but it’s inconsistent, so you need to pick your moment. The water temp is about average for the time of year, nothing to write home about.
The standout window is the morning of Friday, 18th September. We’ve got a bit of a pulse coming in: a 4ft swell from the southwest, with a period of 5 seconds. Now, that’s short period, so it won’t have much grunt, but the combined swell energy is moderate at 159. The wind is a light cross-offshore from the north-northeast at 6 mph, which will keep things clean. The break is exposed to the south swell, and the optimum direction is from the south, so this is a decent match. It’s the best we’ve got, but with the short period, it’ll be a bit weak and crumbly. Expect it to be small and maybe a little disjointed, but it’s clean and rideable. The afternoon gets messy with a cross-onshore, so get on it early.
After that, the surf drops back down to tiny, poor conditions for the rest of the forecast. Not much else to get excited about, I’m afraid.

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.
