The Lowdown
Rusty here, taking a look at what we've got in the water for the next couple of weeks.
Let's cut to the chase – this forecast is a quiet one. Stretching across the full 16 days, there just isn't much surf to get excited about, and when a little bump tries to show up, the conditions aren't playing ball.
The Silent Period (August 13th through August 28th)
From Thursday the 13th of August all the way until Tuesday the 25th, it's a flat spell. The combined wave energy barely registers a pulse (mostly 0s, 1s, and 19s), and almost every period is marked as "poor surf conditions." The water temperature is sitting at a very unusual 84°F for the time of year, but that's the only thing that's off the charts.
We do see a few pulses of movement around the 22nd and 23rd with some 2ft to 3ft SW swell, but the winds are never quite right. The morning of Wednesday the 26th of August shows a 4ft SW swell with a combined energy of 105 – which is in the moderate range – but it's blowing a 15 km/h cross-shore wind. It’ll be lumpy and hard to enjoy.
The Best of a Bad Bunch (Tuesday 25th August Morning & Beyond)
If you're really needing a session, the morning of Tuesday the 25th of August is your best bet. There's a 3ft SW groundswell rolling in with a combined energy of 84. The wind will be a light 5 km/h offshore from the north, so the surface should be clean. The report says it's "surfable waves but very ordinary conditions," which is the best description you're going to get for this entire window. It's not a highlight, it's just the only option.
The 27th of August morning brings a tiny 1ft SW swell but with a longer 9-second period. Light cross-offshore winds from the NNE will keep the water looking glassy, but there's just no size or power to work with.
I hate to say it, but the best call might be to leave the boards home and just hit the sand for a walk. Forecasts can turn around, but for now, it's a big fat zero for proper surf.
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.
Diano Marina is 4 km (2 miles) from Imperia. If you plan a holiday in West Coast of Italy, look for hotels and other accommodation in Imperia. Imperia has rooms for a wide range of budgets as well as car hire and transport links.
