The Lowdown
Alright, let’s be straight with you. The surf over this whole stretch is about as exciting as watching paint dry. We've got nothing but tiny, weak, short-period swells, and for the most part, it’s just flat. There’s no power, no push, and very little hope for a wave.
At Diano Marina, the first few days are just a tease. Tuesday morning sees a faint 0.1m from the southwest, but the period is only 4 seconds, and the combined energy is a pathetic 1. That’s not surfable. It’s glassy which is nice for the soul, but not for the surf.
Wednesday and Thursday are similar, with small bumps up to 0.2m and even 0.4m on Thursday. That 0.4m from the southwest with an 8-second period is the best we see early on, but the combined energy is only around 20-28. Still pretty weak, and it won’t be breaking with any sort of shape or power.
From the 19th through the 28th, it’s a total write-off. No swell, no energy. There’s a solid 10-day flat spell where you might as well hang the boards up. The wind is often light and sometimes cross-off or glassy, but with no waves, it’s just a calm ocean with nothing to ride.
We see a faint glimmer around the 29th and 30th, with swells of 0.1m and 0.2m, but the periods are short and the energy is almost zero. It’s not enough to bother with.
The water is 26°, which is much warmer than normal for this time of year – a big 5° anomaly. So it feels like bathwater, but that’s the only highlight.
There’s no standout swell, no good break to call out. It’s just a flat, quiet stretch. This kind of blank run is pretty normal for the area, so don’t stress about it too much. But if you want to surf, you’re out of luck.
Catch you next time.

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.
