The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let's be straight with you about what's coming down the pike for our local stretch. I've got the full 16-day picture in front of me, and I gotta tell you, it's a pretty quiet one. We've got a long stretch of very small surf ahead, nothing that's really gonna get the heart pumping. The first real chance for a paddle won't come around for a week or so, and even then, it's going to be a challenge.
Starting off on Wednesday, the 29th, and right through the weekend, we're looking at flat to nearly flat conditions. The water's sitting at a very warm 82°F, which is over 5°F warmer than usual for late July – that's some seriously unusual bathwater, but there's just no energy in the water to work with. The combined swell energy is sitting at a measly 1 to 11 (weak) most days, with tiny swells from the southwest barely cracking 0.3ft to 2ft. A lot of glassy mornings, but with zero push, it's just a swimming day.
We finally see a tiny pulse of energy on Friday, the 8th of August. The combined swell energy bumps up to 15 (still weak), with the best chance coming Saturday morning, the 9th of August. That morning looks glassy with a slight NNE wind, which is truly a gift. But the swell is a weak 2ft from the SSW, with a short period of 5 seconds. This is the most promising session in the whole window, but it's for absolute beginners or longboarders only. It's inconsistent and, honestly, the waves will be weak and mushy. It's not a standout, it's just the only option.
Later on, around Wednesday, the 13th of August, we get a glimpse of something different. A 0.7ft swell from the WSW with a very long period of 10 seconds shows up. That's a bit of groundswell energy, but it's so tiny it's barely a ripple, with combined swell energy of just 12 (weak). For a spot like Diano Marina that's exposed to the south, this westerly direction isn't ideal.
Overall, the whole 16-day outlook is poor. The surf quality is just not there. If it weren't for the few days with tiny waves, you'd think the ocean was broken. For anyone wanting to get wet, a kite or a foil board might be more interesting than a surfboard for the next two weeks. Keep an eye on the forecasts, but don't hold your breath.
Alright, that's the look from me. Keep your stick on the wax.

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.
Diano Marina is 4 km (2 miles) from Imperia. If you plan a holiday in West Coast of Italy, look for hotels and other accommodation in Imperia. Imperia has rooms for a wide range of budgets as well as car hire and transport links.
