The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what’s cookin’ for the next couple of weeks.
Right off the bat, I gotta be straight with you – it’s a long, flat spell ahead. The first real chance of a wave doesn’t show up until Saturday the 29th of August, so you’re lookin’ at a few days of glassy but flat water before that. The water’s sittin’ at a warm 82°F, which is much warmer than normal for this time of year, so it’ll feel like a bath.
The standout is Saturday morning, 29th August, at Diano Marina. We’ve got a clean 5ft swell rollin’ in from the WSW, with a period of 6 seconds. The wind is light offshore from the NW, which is a beauty – it’ll keep the faces clean. The combined energy is moderate at 334, so there’s a bit of push behind it. This is the best on offer, no doubt, but it’s still a short-period swell, so don’t expect it to hold shape for long. It’s also a beginner-friendly spot most of the time, but 5ft could be a bit much for absolute beginners. It’s an inconsistent break, so you’ll need some patience between sets.
The rest of the window is pretty grim. There’s a little bump on the morning of Wednesday the 9th of September, with a 6ft SSW swell and a 7-second period, and glassy conditions. The energy is moderate at 261. That’s promising, but it’s a long way off and the afternoon turns into a cross-on shore mess. It’s worth keepin’ an eye on, but don’t book the week off work for it.
In between, you’ll see a lot of tiny, weak swells with poor direction and onshore winds. The 30th of August offers a clean 1ft with a light offshore, but it’s barely a ripple. The 2nd of September has a glassy 2ft in the afternoon, but again, small stuff.
Honestly, if you’re keen, pencil in that Saturday morning. The rest of the time, the board might as well stay in the car.
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.
