Table - best surf conditions forecast for Diano Marina over the next 16 days.
Alright, this is Rusty. Let’s be straight with you about Diano Marina. The outlook for the next 16 days is a tough one to write. Honestly, we’re looking at a long stretch of flat or near-flat conditions. There’s nothing here that’s going to get you frothing, but I’ll walk you through it.
For the first week, from Sunday the 12th of July right through to Saturday the 18th, the swell is tiny. We’re talking about ankle-biters at best, with heights mostly around 0.7 ft to 2 ft, and the wave energy is weak, with combined energy values sitting between just 1 and 14. The water temperature is a notable 80°F, which is much warmer than usual for this time of year.
The only real flicker of life comes in the second week. On Saturday morning the 25th of July, we see a bump to 3 ft with a 6-second period from the SW, and the combined energy climbs to 53, which is still weak. The wind is light and clean from the NNE, so it’ll be a cross-off breeze. But even then, the guidance calls it poor surf conditions. That’s the best of a bad bunch, and it’s a long way out.
There’s a gap of several days with no real swell after that, with tiny signals and zeros in the energy department. By the end of the month, the 27th of July, it’s back to 0.7 ft dribble.
Look, this is a spot that’s inconsistent, and this run is a true reflection of that. There’s nothing here to recommend. Don’t hold your breath. The forecasts can change, but for now, leave the boards at home.
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.
