The Lowdown
Alright, this is Rusty, and I gotta be straight with you. Looking at the whole 16-day window for Diano Marina, it's a pretty grim picture. The wave energy is basically non-existent for days on end, with the combined swell energy reading flat zeroes and single-digit numbers – we're talking weak energy, barely a ripple. The water's sitting at a toasty 84°, which is far warmer than normal for this time of year, so at least a swim is on the cards.
We kick off on Thursday the 23rd with absolutely nothing. That flat spell stretches through Friday the 24th with a tiny 1ft of weak, short-period SW swell on the morning, but it's cross-shore and the energy is just 4, so it's a total washout. Saturday the 25th is another zero day. Sunday the 26th finally shows a whisper of life with a 1ft swell from the ESE, but the combined energy is still only 11. The morning has a clean offshore feel with a light NNW breeze, but it's just too small to get excited about.
Monday the 27th, the swell bumps up to 2ft from the SSE, with the highest energy we'll see at 48, but it's still weak. The wind is a messy cross-shore from the NE. It's tricky, but if you're desperate, it's the most "surf" on offer. Tuesday the 28th is back to tiny, clean conditions but no power. This pattern of tiny, weak swells, mostly under 2ft, runs all the way through to the end of the forecast on Friday the 7th of August. The best we see in that second week is a couple of glassy, clean mornings on the 3rd and 7th of August, with a 0.7ft and 2ft swell respectively, but the energy is still pitifully low.
There's no standout, no hidden gem. The only break on the list is Diano Marina itself, and it's rated as inconsistent and for beginners. With the swell being so small and the winds often onshore or cross-shore, it's a total no-go for a proper surf. The setup here is a beach, and with these conditions, it's really just a spot for a paddle or a swim. If the wind got up stronger, it'd be more interesting for kite surfing than surfing.
I'm sorry, but the ocean is just not cooperating. It's a blank run, and honestly, for this area, it's not that unusual. Sometimes you just have to wait for a change in the forecast. Hang in there.
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.
