The Lowdown
Alright crew, Rusty here. Let’s cut to the chase – the outlook for Diano Marina is a real bummer. We’re staring down a long, flat stretch, with the first week mostly a total write-off. There are gaps of several days where there’s just nothing to recommend. The only glimmer of hope comes late in the first week.
The one window that’s even worth a mention is Sunday afternoon, July 26th. The combined swell energy hits 121 (moderate), and we get a 4ft swell from the SW with a 7-second period. The wind goes glassy, which is a huge plus. The water temp is about average for the time of year. It’s surfable, but the conditions are called very ordinary – it’s more of a struggle than a classic.
If you’re a beginner, this is small enough to handle, but the quality is poor. The break is exposed to the S, and the swell is from the SW, so it’s not a perfect match. Sunday afternoon is the only time you’d even bother.
After that, the plug gets pulled. The rest of the week is a desert of flatness and tiny, short-period junk. Tuesday, July 28th, has a tiny 2ft, but it’s weak and scores a zero. The second week, through to Thursday, August 6th, is almost entirely flat with light winds but no swell to speak of. For this area, a blank run like this is pretty normal when the charts are empty.
Forget the paddle. Honestly, with the strong onshore winds and tiny, weak waves on some other days, this setup looks more interesting for kite surfing than paddle surfing. But for the rest of us, it’s a waiting game.
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.
