The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what’s cookin’ for Diano Marina over the next couple of weeks.
Honestly, mate, it’s a pretty flat and quiet stretch ahead. We’re lookin’ at a solid run of tiny, marginal swell with hardly any push behind it. The water’s sitting at a balmy 82°, which is far warmer than normal for this time of year. That’s a real head-scratcher, but it means you can surf in boardies if you’re tough enough.
First sniff of anything worth paddling out for comes on Wednesday morning, September 9th. That’s where we see a tiny bump of 3ft from the SW with a period of 6 seconds, and combined swell energy of just 70 (weak). Winds are light and clean from the N, so it’ll be glassy. Still, it’s an inconsistent break and the waves will be small and ordinary. Not a standout, but it’s the best of a very quiet bunch.
The next decent-looking window is Wednesday morning, September 16th. Swell picks up to 1ft from the SW, but the period stretches to 9 seconds, which is a little more interesting. Combined energy is 31 (still weak). Winds are light offshore from the N, so the surface will be clean. Again, it’s small and inconsistent, but for a patient surfer, you might snag a few clean, lined-up waves.
Other than that, it’s a long stretch of flat, choppy, or onshore junk. Don’t be surprised if you’re staring at a mirror for days on end. The setup here is more interesting for a kite session than a proper paddle, especially on the breezier afternoons.
Nothing in this window is a true standout. The best bet is Wednesday morning, September 9th for the cleanest conditions on the meagre swell, and Wednesday morning, September 16th for a slightly longer period and cleaner glass. Go in with low expectations and you might be surprised.
Rusty, signing off.

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.
