The Lowdown
Alright, let's talk waves. It's gonna be a tough stretch for us. For the next week and a half, you're looking at flatness. We got some tiny, weak windswell bumps, nothing with any push or shape. Mornings are clean, sure, but there's nothing to ride.
The whole thing is just a waiting game. The one real chance, the only time I'd even bother checking the cam, is around the 26th. Wednesday afternoon, that's when the ocean finally wakes up. We're looking at a solid 5-foot SW swell with a bit more period on it, and the wind goes glassy. That’s worth the wait. The water is also way warmer than usual for this time of year, a solid 84°, which is a nice bonus. But even then, it's not a wave for beginners, this has some punch to it.
Before that, the 25th afternoon has some juice but it's blown out by strong cross-shore winds. That's more of a kiteboarding day if anything. After the 26th, it just drops back off into nothing again. So, one solid shot, maybe. that's what we got. It's a slow month, and this dry spell is just how it is around here sometimes. Keep the board waxed, and be ready if that late-month pulse shows up. Keep an eye on the horizon.

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.
