The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what’s cookin’ for the next couple of weeks.
Truth is, it’s a pretty bleak picture for the whole 16-day window. We’re looking at a long stretch of tiny, weak waves and mostly poor conditions, so don’t get your hopes up for any real sessions. The first real chance to even get wet doesn’t show up until Saturday the 29th, and even then it’s a real struggle.
The only spot that even pops up is Diano Marina. It’s an exposed beginner-friendly break, but it’s inconsistent, and that’s putting it kindly. The best of a bad bunch comes on Saturday morning, August 29th. We’ve got a 4ft swell from the SW, with a short period of 6 seconds, so it’s weak and a bit messy. The combined energy is only moderate (120). The wind is off from the NW at 6 mph, which will keep the surface clean. It’s surfable, but it’s very ordinary. Crowds are sometimes a problem here, so you might have company for these tiny waves.
After that Saturday, it’s a long, sad decline. The rest of the 16 days is filled with nothing but flat days or tiny, weak swells under 2ft, mostly with rubbish period and onshore or cross-shore winds. The combined energy drops to nearly nothing – 52, 42, 16, even 2 or 1 – barely a ripple. There are a few mornings with glassy or clean conditions, like Monday morning September 7th or Tuesday morning September 8th, but with zero swell on offer, you’re just looking at a flat ocean. The water temperature is about average for this time of year, so no surprises there.
To be honest, this is one of those blank runs that’s pretty normal for this area when the conditions lock in flat. The forecast can change, but right now, there’s nothing to get excited about. Save your energy and wax for another time.
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.
