The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s look at what’s on offer for Diano Marina over the next couple of weeks.
Honestly, it’s looking pretty grim. We’ve got a long stretch of flat, weak, or just plain messy conditions ahead. The first proper surfable pulse doesn’t show up until Monday the 27th of July, and even then, it’s nothing to get excited about. There’s a real dry spell from now – the 16th of July – all the way through to the 26th, where the energy is just too low or the wind is junk. It’s a proper blank run.
The only real standout, and I use that term loosely, is the morning of Monday the 27th of July. Diano Marina is a beginner spot and it’s *inconsistent*, so you have to pick your moments. That morning we’re looking at a tiny 3ft swell from the southwest with a period of 7 seconds, so short-period stuff. The combined energy is still weak, coming in at 79. The wind flips offshore from the NNE at 9 mph, keeping it clean. If you’re a total beginner and just want to bob around on a foamie, this is your window. Don’t expect any power or shape.
The water is a very unusual 81°F, which is *much warmer than normal* for this time of year – something like 9° warmer than the average. That’s a real oddity.
After that, the rest of the 16-day window drops back into near-flatness with poor surf conditions. There’s no other moment worth paddling out for. For a spot that’s already inconsistent, this kind of poor run is pretty normal for the area.
Keep an eye on the charts, but for now, it’s a board waxing and coffee sipping kind of stretch.
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.
