The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s be straight with you – this is a tough one. The next couple of weeks here in Diano Marina are looking pretty flat for the most part. We’ve got a long stretch of minimal to no surf, with only one real sniff of something rideable, and even that’s not a sure thing.
Right now, we’re in a flat spell. From Wednesday morning the 2nd right through to the morning of Thursday the 10th, it’s a desert. The combined wave energy is tiny, mostly single digits (2, 4, even 0), with swell heights barely breaking 1 ft. The wind is often light and even glassy at times, but there’s simply no ocean energy to work with. It’s a good time to check the wax stash or go for a paddle, but not a wave.
A glimmer appears on the morning of Friday the 11th. We’ve got a 5 ft swell pushing in from the southwest with a period of 7 seconds, and combined energy of 238 (moderate). The wind is a light cross-offshore from the north-northeast at 6 mph, which should keep things clean. This is the biggest pulse we see, but it’s not a classic groundswell, and the period is a bit short. It’s the only morning in the whole forecast that’s worth a look, but it’s a tentative one. By the afternoon, the wind swings onshore and messes it up, so you’d want to be on it early.
After that, it’s back to the doldrums. The morning of Saturday the 12th is glassy, but the swell is gone again. The rest of the run through to the 17th is filled with tiny, short-period bumps and clean but weak conditions. The long-range stuff is a total non-starter.
The water temperature is a staggering 81°F, which is 9° warmer than normal for this time of year. That’s a wild anomaly, so you’ll be in a shorty or just boardshorts.
To sum it up: The only chance to get wet is the morning of Friday the 11th. It’s not a classic, and it’s a long way out, so keep your expectations in check. The rest of the 16 days is a write-off for surf.
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.
