The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Well, I’ve had a good look at the charts for Diano Marina, and I gotta be straight with you – it’s a tough stretch ahead. The next 16 days are looking pretty bleak for a proper surf. We’ve got a long gap of nothing but tiny, junk waves and poor conditions stretching from now all the way through to the end of August. The first real chance of anything half-decent doesn't show up until Saturday the 29th of August, and even then, it’s nothing to write home about.
For that Saturday morning, the 29th of August, we finally see a pulse of energy. The swell comes up to 4ft from the SW with a period of 7 seconds. That’s a short-period, weak swell, but the combined energy (151) is the strongest we’ll see in the whole forecast. The wind is light from the WNW, which is offshore for Diano Marina, so the surf should be clean. This is the best on offer, but it’s still pretty ordinary. The water is a very unusual 83°F, much warmer than normal for this time of year.
Looking further ahead, there’s a glimmer on Tuesday morning, the 1st of September. Swell is 4ft from the SW, period 5 seconds, with light offshore winds. Again, it’s surfable but very ordinary. The energy is weak (95), and the swell direction from the SW is what Diano Marina expects, but the short period means the waves will be fat and weak.
The rest of the run is tiny, or flat, and often blown out by onshore or cross-shore breezes. The conditions are mostly poor, with a few glassy mornings offering nothing to ride. Honestly, if you’re desperate for a paddle, Saturday the 29th is your best shot for a few small, clean waves. It’s not a classic, but it’s the only window we’ve got.
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.
