The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here. Let's have a look at what's on offer for Diano Marina.
Mate, I've gotta be straight with you – this stretch of the forecast looks pretty grim for a surf. There's a big gap of nothing at the start, with a few tiny pulses of swell but nothing that's worth getting wet for. The first real, tiny glimmer of something is on the morning of Wednesday, September 9th, but it's not much to write home about.
The water at Diano Marina is currently running much warmer than normal for this time of year, clocking in at 81°, which is a solid 9° above the average. That's a real anomaly.
Alright, let's walk through it. Sunday the 6th is a flat, poor surf day with a tiny 0.7ft south swell carrying a weak 3 combined energy. Monday and Tuesday the 7th and 8th are completely flat. Wednesday morning the 9th sees a slight bump with a 2ft swell from the southwest and a period of just 4 seconds, so it's choppy and weak. The combined energy is only 7, and the wind is a light cross-offshore from the west, which will keep it clean. But honestly, it's still poor surf. Thursday the 10th has a 0.7ft swell from the west-southwest, but with a 9-second period, which is a bit longer, but the energy is still tiny at 9. Friday the 11th offers a 2ft swell from the east-northeast in the afternoon, but the period is a short 4 seconds and the wind is cross-on, making it messy.
There's a bit of a gap from the 12th through the 14th with virtually nothing. Then on Tuesday morning, September 15th, we get a bit of a pulse. The swell is 1ft from the southwest with a period of 7 seconds, and the combined energy climbs to 15. The wind is glassy from the north-northwest, so the surface will be clean. Still, it's a very small swell and the surf is rated as poor. A few more tiny pulses come through the rest of the week, but nothing that breaks the "poor surf conditions" label.
The best of a bad bunch, if you're desperate, would be the early morning of September 15th. The glassy conditions are the only real positive. The swell is 1ft from the southwest, and while it's small, that light wind will make it the cleanest option. But don't expect a wave you can really ride.
The rest of the window through to the 21st is a series of tiny, low-energy swells with periods that are mostly short, and the wind is often onshore or cross-onshore, making it choppy. There's no standout session here.
Overall, it's a flat, poor run for Diano Marina. The forecasts can change, but right now, the board stays in the van.

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.
