The Lowdown
Alright, let’s get this straight. Looking at the whole 16-day window for Diano Marina, it’s a pretty grim picture for us paddle surfers. There are no good surf options on offer at all. The forecast is just a long, flat spell with a few tiny blips that aren't worth getting wet for. It’s a blank run, plain and simple.
The first week is dead. From Wednesday the 5th through to the 12th, we’ve got nothing but tiny, weak swell. The energy readings are pitiful, mostly single digits, like 3, 2, 1, and 0. The wave comment is just “poor surf conditions” the whole way through. There are some clean, glassy mornings with light NNE breezes, which would be perfect if there were any waves, but there aren't. The swell that does show up is under 2ft, with short, weak periods. It’s not going to break properly anywhere. This is a long stretch of nothing, about a week of it.
The second week doesn't offer any real salvation. There’s a slight pulse starting around Monday the 17th, with the swell height trying to push up to 2ft, and the energy creeping into the double digits (36). Then Tuesday the 18th sees a modest bump to 3ft with a 5-second period and energy of 47. Still, the call is “poor surf conditions.” The winds are mostly light and cross-offshore in the mornings, keeping things clean, but the waves just aren't there.
The only thing that even raises an eyebrow is the Wednesday the 19th afternoon forecast. We get a jump in swell height to 5ft with a 6-second period, and the combined energy leaps to 195, which is a moderate amount of juice. But the wind is a cross-onshore 9 mph, making it “gentle cross-onshore and fairly choppy.” The wave comment still says “poor surf conditions.”
Given the tiny, weak swell and the onshore breezes, this setup at Diano Marina looks far more interesting for a kite surfer than a paddle surfer. There’s just no quality surf to be had. It’s a frustrating outlook, but forecasts can change. It tends not to stay this poor for long around here.

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.
