The Lowdown
Right, grab a coffee, mate. Rusty here. I've had a proper look through the charts for Diano Marina and to be blunt, there's bugger all to get excited about in this 16-day window. We're looking at a flat spell that just drags on and on. The sea's basically given up the ghost.
From Saturday the 25th of July all the way through to the end of the first week of August, it's a grim run of mostly flat days or tiny, useless waves. We get a brief pulse on Monday the 27th, with a 2ft swell from the WSW and a period of 8 seconds, but even that wave energy is weak (91). The cross-off morning wind would keep it tidy, but the swell is too weak and short-period for anything meaningful to wrap in. The rest of that week is a write-off, with heights barely breaking 2ft and energy readings sitting down in the teens and single digits. There's a glassy morning on the 29th, but it's on flat water.
The second week isn't any kinder. The best we can hope for is a tiny, glassy knee-high wave on the afternoon of Sunday the 2nd of August – a 2ft, 4-second ENE swell with a combined energy of just 13. It’s not surfable in any real sense. There's a sniff of something on the 6th of August, with a glassy morning and a 2ft SSE swell pushing energy up to 27, but the period is short and the direction is awful for the break, which needs the wind from the south.
Honestly, this is a drought. If you’re a surfer, you’re better off finding a spot on a lake or a river mouth because the Mediterranean here is flat as a pancake. For a beach setup like this, with no swell to speak of, it’s a kitesurfer’s dream and a paddler’s nightmare. Forecasts can change, but for now, it's a hard pass.
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.
Diano Marina is 4 km (2 miles) from Imperia. If you plan a holiday in West Coast of Italy, look for hotels and other accommodation in Imperia. Imperia has rooms for a wide range of budgets as well as car hire and transport links.
