The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what’s in store for our local patch over the next couple of weeks.
Honestly, I gotta level with you – it’s a lean stretch ahead. We’re looking at a long, frustrating gap of about a week with pretty much nothing worth paddling out for. The ocean’s basically been flat, with whispery little 0.3ft to 0.7ft swells just not doing anything. Winds have been all over the shop too, glassy in the mornings a few times but then turning onshore or cross-onshore through the afternoons. It’s been one of those spells where you check the cam, see it's clean but tiny, and just stay in bed.
There is one morning that gets close to having a pulse. On Wednesday the 23rd of September, we see a little bump – it's only 1ft coming from the southwest with a period of just 5 seconds, so no power behind it. The combined energy is only measuring 3, which is barely a whisper. But the saving grace is the wind: calm, glassy conditions on Wednesday morning, so if you’re desperate to get wet and don’t mind standing around, Diano Marina might offer a few knee-high dribblers.
Then we get a slight uptick in activity towards the end of the run. Saturday the 27th of September morning is the only flicker of hope. We’ve got some swell from the east-southeast at 3ft, with a period of 6 seconds. The combined energy finally climbs to 56, which is still weak but at least it’s moving. The wind is cross-offshore from the north-northeast at 9 mph, keeping things reasonably clean. Diano Marina would be the spot to check if you’re keen on a grovel. But the afternoon turns a bit choppy with an easterly cross-onshore coming in, so the window is short.
Overall, there’s no standout day in this whole 16-day outlook. The surf just isn’t cooperating. If you’re a kitesurfer, that last week with the east winds and some wave energy might look interesting, but for a normal paddle surfer, it's a waiting game.
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.
