Table - best surf conditions forecast for Diano Marina over the next 16 days.
Alright, let’s talk about Diano Marina in feet and miles per hour. The next couple weeks are flat as a pancake, so don’t get your hopes up.
Right now, we’ve got a big dry spell ahead. Wednesday morning offers a tiny 0.7ft south swell, period 3 seconds and combined energy (2). Light cross-shore wind, but it’s not a wave. Forget it.
Thursday the 9th sees a tiny bump from the southwest, maybe 1ft in the morning with a 6 second period and energy (7). Still poor. The afternoons get choppy with onshore winds.
Friday the 10th drops back to 0.7ft. Saturday the 11th shows a little more in the afternoon, building to 3ft from the east-southeast, period 4 seconds and energy (27). That’s the biggest of the first week, but with that short period and cross-onshore wind, expect chop.
Then we hit a dead zone from Sunday the 12th afternoon through Thursday the 17th morning, with swells dropping to zero for several days. A few clean moments pop up, like Sunday the 12th morning with cross-offshore wind and a 2ft southeast swell (energy 13), but it’s still tiny. Wednesday the 15th is completely flat.
The best shot comes on Saturday, July 18th, in the morning. Glassy, clean start with a 2ft southwest swell, period 7 seconds, and combined energy of (31). Still small, but the conditions will be clean. The water temperature is 78°, which is much warmer than normal for this time of year—about 7° above average, so pretty unusual.
After that, we fade back to near-flat again. Tuesday July 21st morning has another glassy start with a 2ft southwest swell, period 5 seconds and energy (40), but the afternoon gets messy with a moderate cross-onshore breeze. For the rest of the period, it’s mostly flat.
The standout is Saturday July 18th morning at Diano Marina: clean, glassy, with a tiny southwest swell. Not a day for big waves, but the most surfable window in a long, flat run. Crowds are possible.
The whole stretch is a waiting game. It doesn’t usually stay this poor for long, but right now it’s a real drought.

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.
