The Lowdown
Alright, I’m gonna level with you folks – the outlook for Diano Marina over the next 16 days is pretty grim. Don’t get your hopes up.
We’re looking at a long stretch of weather with next to no swell energy coming in. The whole forecast is basically one long flat spell, with only a few tiny peaks that are really not worth paddling out for. We’ve got a run of flat days from the start, and honestly, most of the window shows nothing ridable.
The one small pulse arrives on Saturday the 29th for the morning. It’s the only time you’d even consider getting wet. Diano Marina is exposed to the south, and we get a 4ft swell from the SW with a period of 6 seconds. That’s weak, short-period windswell – combined energy is only 102 (moderate at best), so it’ll be a bit mushy and gutless. But the wind is a light cross-offshore from the NNE at 6 mph, keeping it reasonably clean. It’s a beginner-friendly size, but don’t expect any power. The water temperature is about average for this time of year. The break is inconsistent and can get crowded sometimes, so don’t be shocked if a few other hopefuls are out.
After that Saturday morning, the whole show drops off fast. Sunday the 30th sees tiny 2ft swell with weak energy, and from Monday the 31st onward we’re talking knee-high dribble or flat nothing. There’s a few glassy moments, like Monday morning the 31st and Tuesday morning the 8th of September, but with swell heights of 1ft and 0.7ft and energy in the single digits, it’s barely surfable for a longboard. The rest of the days – especially from the 2nd to the 6th, and again from the 10th to the 12th – are flat with no swell.
Bottom line: don’t plan a trip around this. It’s a long, flat run for the area. Maybe something changes later in the long-range, but as it stands, it’s a board in the car and a coffee on the beach kind of outlook.

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.
