The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here again. Let me put this in feet and miles per hour for you.
We’ve got a grim 16-day stretch coming up at Diano Marina. No day in the whole window gives me anything worth jumping for. The best combined swell energy we see is 41 on Thursday the 10th morning—that’s moderate energy at its peak, but it’s still tiny.
Diano Marina is an exposed south-facing beginner break that’s inconsistent, so a long dry spell is kind of normal for the area. Water temp is sitting right at 28°—that’s 5° above the long-term average, so far warmer than normal, and really unusual.
Here’s the play-by-play. Saturday the 5th: Saturday morning has a 0.7 ft south swell at 3 seconds and crosswind. Saturday afternoon: 1 ft from the SSE at 5 seconds with cross-onshore breeze. Sunday the 6th morning is clean with light cross-offshore wind, but the wave is only 0.7 ft at 4 seconds—nothing to ride. Monday the 7th morning is glassy, but the swell is a tiny 0.3 ft from the SW with a 4-second period.
The best we get is Thursday the 10th morning: a 2 ft SW swell at 7 seconds, combined energy of 41, and clean surf thanks to a light cross-offshore wind from the NNE. That’s the standout—and that’s just barely enough to call a ripple. For a beginner spot, that’s still a struggle.
After that, the rest is mostly 0.3 ft to 1 ft dribble through to Sunday the 20th, with clean or glassy windows but no height to work with. Saturday the 20th morning has a 2 ft S swell at 6 seconds and clean conditions, but only 30 combined energy—still weak.
For this beach setup, with such small swell and light winds, a kite might get more fun out of it than a surfer. I’d leave the board home.
Signing off.
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.
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.
