The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here. Let's talk about what's going on with the surf.
Honestly, mate, we're in a flat spell. Looking right across this 16-day window, there's not a single day that's worth paddling out for. The first possible window with any swell at all isn't until the morning of August 11th, and even then, we're only talking about a weak 1.0ft swell from the SW with a short 4-second period. The energy is minimal at just 3. That's barely a ripple and certainly not surfable.
We then have a long, dry gap with zero swell from the 12th right through to the 17th of August. There are some mornings with clean, glassy conditions, like the 13th with offshore NNW winds at 3 mph, and the 15th with clean conditions, but without any waves to ride, it's just a flat, pretty lake.
The same story repeats. We see a tiny 1.0ft bump from the SW on the morning of the 18th, another 0.7ft on the 19th, and a bigger 1ft on the afternoon of the 24th of August, but all with short periods and very low energy. The water is exceptionally warm, 84°F on the first day, which is 9°F warmer than normal for this spot. That's a very unusual anomaly.
But the reality is, for Diano Marina, there's just no surf on offer. This kind of blank run, with few consistent waves, is pretty normal for this area. Don't hold your breath for a change; sometimes it just stays like this.

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.
