The Lowdown
Alright, let’s get into it. This is Rusty, and I’m looking at the stretch ahead for the local waters.
Honestly, the next two weeks are a tough one. We’ve got a real flat spell on our hands. The whole 16-day window is basically a write-off for anything decent. The first suggestion of any rideable surf doesn’t pop up until Monday the 27th of July, and even then, it’s a real struggle. That’s a solid 12-day gap from the start of the period with absolutely nothing to get excited about.
The only spot in the game is Diano Marina. It’s an inconsistent, exposed beginner spot, and for the first week and a half, the energy is just pathetic. The combined swell energy barely scratches double digits, and often it’s just single-digit values (like 5 or 11). The swell heights are tiny, mostly under 2ft, and what little swell there is comes from the SSW or S with a short, weak period of 4-6 seconds. The wind is a mess, too, constantly switching between light cross-onshore and onshore, with maybe a few glassy mornings that still have zero waves to ride.
The water temperature is a real standout, though. It’s sitting at 80°, which is a massive 8° warmer than average for this time of year. That’s very unusual, like swimming in a bath, but sadly, there’s no surf to enjoy it in.
The only blip on the radar comes on Monday the 27th of July. The morning shows a bit of life. We get a 3ft swell from the SW, with a period of 6 seconds, and the combined energy nudges up to 66 (moderate). The wind is a clean cross-off from the N at 9 mph. The report calls it “surfable waves but very ordinary conditions,” which is about as optimistic as it gets here. It’s still tiny and weak, but for this spot, that’s the best you’re going to see. The crowd situation is “sometimes,” so you might have a few others with low expectations out there.
After that, it’s right back to flatness and poor conditions. The 28th and 29th show nothing but tiny, weak swells and messy onshore wind. The whole period is a bust. For a spot that’s already inconsistent, this kind of blank run is pretty normal. It’s just not happening.
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.
