The Lowdown
Alright, saddle up, ’cause I’ve got to tell it like it is – the outlook for Diano Marina is looking bleak. We’re in for a long stretch with barely a bump. The first time you’d even bother splashing in won’t be until the morning of September 12th, and even then, it’s a tiny, weak pulse.
Let’s break it down. The combined swell energy is nothing to write home about – numbers in the single digits and low teens, like 4, 5, 13. That’s flat, weak energy. We’ve got a full 16-day window ahead, but the first real chance to paddle out comes on Saturday morning, September 12th. The water temperature is 81°F, which is a whopping 10°F warmer than normal – that’s far warmer than usual for this time of year, so the water’s gonna feel like a warm bath.
For that Saturday morning, we’ve got a tiny 2ft swell from the SW, with a period of 7 seconds. That’s a short-period, weak windswell. The wind is a light cross-offshore from the NNE at 9 mph, which will keep the surface clean. It’s a small, clean option, but honestly, the combined energy is only 36 (weak). It’s beginner-level stuff at best. The crowd profile says “sometimes,” so you might have a few others out, but it’s not going to be packed.
The rest of the outlook is a washout. The next morning, Sunday the 13th, has a tiny 0.3ft swell and clean conditions, but it’s essentially flat. Then we go through another week where the waves are either non-existent or so small they’re not worth a mention. The wind is often cross-off or glassy, but with no swell to push, it’s just a pretty lake. There’s a small pulse on the afternoon of September 19th with a 2ft swell from the E, but it’s onshore wind and a poor surf conditions rating.
Honestly, the best thing about this forecast is the chance to sit on the beach and work on your tan. There’s just no wave energy to speak of. If you’re desperate, the clean but tiny window on Saturday morning, September 12th is your only real shot, and even then, it’s a long paddle for a knee-high wave. The rest of the 16 days is a complete blank. That’s the reality of this spot right now.

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.
