The Lowdown
Alright, surfers, Rusty here. Diano Marina over the next 16 days? It’s a wasteland. This spot’s exposed and inconsistent, and the forecast is a flat-out bust – not unusual here, but still a letdown. Water temp is sitting at a balmy 84°, way warmer than normal for the time of year, like a bathtub. Combined wave energy never breaks out of single digits (10) at the start – weak as dishwater.
Wednesday afternoon, 22 July, kicks off with a tiny 2ft swell from the ENE at 4 seconds – cross-on and choppy, energy just 10. Thursday morning the 23rd is clean with a light cross-off breeze, but there’s zero wave height (0 energy). It’s all tiny waist-high dribbles from there: 0.6ft to 2ft, mostly from the ENE or SW, periods under 6 seconds. Winds shift around but wave quality stays poor across the board. Sunday morning, 26 July, offers a glimmer: 1ft from the ESE at 5 seconds, cross-off wind, clean – energy hits 11. Still not enough to ride, but the cleanest you’ll see in the first week.
Even the glassy mornings, like Wednesday 29 July with a light NNE cross-off and 0.3ft from the SW, can’t muster a wave. It’s all micro-swell. By late July and early August, nothing changes. No standout break emerges.
The only period worth mentioning is early August. Tuesday morning, 4 August, gives you 1ft from the NE at 3 seconds – clean, light cross-off, energy 4. Then Wednesday morning, 5 August, shows a little bump: 2ft from the SE at 5 seconds, clean, energy 24. Swell direction (SE) is off the optimum (S), so wave shape will be messy but it’s the closest you’ll get to anything rideable. Don’t call it a standout – call it a longboard-only hope.
That’s it. Diano Marina is flat and quiet. If you’re determined, that Wednesday 5 August window is your best shot, but honestly, stay home and wait for a better forecast.
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.
