The Lowdown
Alright, folks, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what’s cooking for the next couple of weeks.
Honestly, I’m looking at the charts and the outlook is pretty flat for our area. The whole 16-day window is a real struggle, with no real surf to get excited about. We’ve got a long stretch of small, weak energy and poor conditions. The first real recommendation doesn’t even pop up until the 18th of July, and even then it’s slim pickings. There’s a gap of several days of nothing before that.
The water is currently a toasty 81°F – that’s much warmer than normal for this time of year, almost 9°F above average, which is pretty wild.
The only spot that even gets a mention is Diano Marina. On the 18th of July, Saturday morning, we see a tiny bit of life. The swell is a meagre 2ft from the SSW with a period of only 5 seconds – that’s weak, short-period windswell, not much power behind it. The combined energy is a paltry 26, which is just barely registering. The saving grace is the wind is from the NNE at 31 km/h, putting it in a cross-offshore direction, so the surface will be clean. It’s the best of a bad bunch, but honestly, it’s still “poor surf conditions” according to the data.
After that, the 27th of July, Monday morning, shows a bump in period to 8 seconds from the SW with 2ft, and a combined energy of 36. Still weak, but the wind is a clean cross-offshore again. This is the other standout, but it’s a long way off and the swell is tiny. For a beginner, this might be manageable, but there’s no power or shape to speak of.
The rest of the period is a write-off. Days of no swell, or onshore winds and tiny, choppy waves. The consistent message is “poor surf conditions” across the board. It’s a quiet spell for the area, and we just have to wait for the next system to fill in.
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.
