The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here again. Let's break down the same scene for the imperial fellas.
It's a bleak picture for Diano Marina. We're looking at a solid 8 to 9 day stretch of flat, messy, or just plain ugly conditions. Kite surfers might have a few sessions, but for a paddle surfer, there's barely a whisper of a wave worth paddling for. The water is running way warmer than usual for this time of year, clocking in at 84°F, which is a real anomaly (8°F warmer than normal), but that's about the only thing that's out of the ordinary.
We don't get a sniff of anything rideable until Friday, August 28th. The morning is our only shot. The wind is a clean offshore from the WNW, which is perfect for the spot. Swell is a tiny 3ft from the SW, with a period of 6 seconds. The combined energy is only 80, so it's weak. The report says "surfable waves but very ordinary conditions," and I'd agree. It's not going to be a classic, but it's the only window in the whole 16-day forecast that offers a paddle. The crowd factor is listed as "sometimes," so you might have a few others with the same idea. After that morning, it drops right back off into nothing.
So, if you're desperate for a dip, the morning of Friday the 28th is your only realistic bet. It's not a standout by any stretch, just the least-ugly option in a very ugly lineup. For the rest of it, save your wax and your energy.
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.
