The Lowdown
Alright, let’s break it down in feet this time.
Honestly, this is a grim outlook for Diano Marina. For the first week and a half, the swell just isn't happening. We're talking tiny bits of sea, nothing over about 2ft, and the period is so short it's basically useless. Energy readings are pathetic. It's poor, flat, and not worth the wetsuit.
Thursday the 30th is glassy flat. Friday the 31st is the same. Saturday morning, August 1st, there's a barely-there 2ft from the SW on a 5-second pulse, and it's glassy, but with an energy of 12, it’s not doing anything.
The pattern holds: a tiny bump on Sunday the 2nd, then clean flat days on the 3rd and 4th. Every time a little SW swell shows up, it’s either onshore or too small.
Finally, on Sunday the 9th of August, we get a pulse. 3ft from the SSW, period stretching to 5 seconds, and the energy jumps to 38. The wind is cross-off from the NNE, so it will be clean. It’s still small, but it’s something. Monday the 10th is similar, 2ft with clean airs.
The best call of the whole 16 days is Tuesday morning, August 11th. Diano Marina sees a 2ft SW swell with a 6-second period. The combined energy is the highest we’ll see at 35. But the big deal is the wind: glassy. Totally flat water, no texture. For a spot that likes S swells, this is the best it gets. It’s super small, but it’ll be clean.
That’s it. After that, it’s gone. The 12th and 13th are tiny, and the 14th is zero.
Diano Marina (Liguria) is a beginner spot, and it’s inconsistent. The water temp is about normal for the season. There's no real standout surf in this run; we’re just waiting for something bigger to show up.

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.
