The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what’s happening down at Diano Marina. I’ll be straight with you – the next two weeks are looking pretty quiet. We’ve got a big gap at the start with basically nothing worth getting wet for, so don’t be in a rush.
The first real chance of a wave doesn’t show up until Saturday the 29th of August. That morning, we’ve got some small SW swell creeping in at about 4ft with a short 5-second period. The wind is light offshore from the NW, so the surface will be clean. But honestly, with wave energy this low (68), it’s going to be small and weak. Not great, but it's the first sign of life. The afternoon sees the swell bump up to 6ft and the energy jumps to 244, which is moderate, but the wind swings onshore from the E, making it choppy. That 6ft might be a bit much for beginners, especially with the crummy conditions.
Sunday the 30th of August morning could be your best bet. It’s dropping to 3ft from the SW, still short period at 6 seconds, but the wind is cross-off from the N, keeping things clean again. That’s the only window where it looks even marginally fun.
After that, it’s back to a long stretch of tiny, weak junk for the rest of the 16 days. We’re talking nothing over 3ft, periods all under 6 seconds, and most afternoons get a light onshore breeze to mess it up. There are a few glassy mornings around the 3rd and 4th of September, but with swell barely 2ft, you’d be scratching for a ride on a longboard. The water temp is a very unusual 82°F – much warmer than normal for this time of year – so at least you’ll be comfortable while you’re sitting there waiting.
Overall, this is a lean period. Diano Marina is an inconsistent beginner spot at the best of times, and these two weeks are a classic example of that. If you absolutely have to paddle out, aim for the morning of Sunday the 30th of August. Otherwise, keep an eye on the forecasts – it tends not to stay this poor for long.
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.
