The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what’s cookin’ for the next couple of weeks.
Right off the bat, I gotta be straight with ya – this is a tough one. We’re looking at a long, dry spell with pretty much nothing worth paddling out for. The whole 16-day window is a bit of a bummer, with no real standouts to get excited about. The first few days are a total write-off, and it stays quiet for a long stretch.
Diano Marina is the only spot on the cards, but it’s a real struggle. It’s an inconsistent beginner break, and for this whole period, the wave energy is just pitiful. The water is a toasty 82°F, which is a massive 9°F warmer than normal – very unusual for this time of year, feels like bathwater.
The first real chance of a ripple comes around Sunday 19th July morning. There’s a tiny 2 ft swell from the SW, with a short period of 5 seconds, and the combined energy is a weak 20. The wind is light from the N, which is a cross-offshore breeze, so the surface could be clean. But honestly, the waves are barely there.
The pattern just repeats itself. Most days offer a mix of tiny, short-period swells, often with onshore winds. There’s a bit of a pulse on Saturday 1st August afternoon, with a 2 ft S swell and an 8-second period, giving a combined energy of 59. That’s the highest energy we see, but it’s still very weak. Winds are onshore from the ESE, so it won’t be pretty. For a beginner spot, it’s too weak to learn on, and for anyone else, it’s disappointing.
Bottom line: save your energy. There’s no wave worth chasing here. The breaks are all inconsistent, and the forecasts are pretty clear. It’s a quiet period for the area, so don’t be surprised if you see flat water. I wouldn’t even bother checking the conditions until at least the second week of August, and even then, keep your expectations on the floor.
Rusty.

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.
