The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what’s coming up for Diano Marina.
Honestly, the next week and a half is looking pretty flat. We’ve got a long stretch of very small to no swell, with a lot of clean, glassy mornings but no real wave energy to work with. The combined swell energy is mostly sitting at single digits or zero, so you’re not missing much. The water temp is running at a very unusual 83°F, which is much warmer than normal for this time of year, but that doesn’t help the waves.
The first real sign of life shows up on Monday the 17th of August. We’ve got a pulse of 4ft swell from the SW, with a period of 6 seconds. The combined energy hits 169 (moderate), but the quality is still pretty ordinary. The morning sees a cross-off wind from the N at 3 mph, so the surface will be clean, but the waves are small and the period is short, so don’t expect much shape. It’s surfable but very average.
The next standout is Thursday the 20th of August. Again, a 4ft SW swell, 6-second period, with combined energy at 81 (weak to moderate). The morning offers a clean, cross-off breeze from the NNE at 6 mph. It’s still not going to be great, but it’s the best of a pretty poor run. Diano Marina is an inconsistent spot, and this is one of those times where it’s just not cooperating.
There’s a gap of about nine days with no real surf to speak of before that Monday morning window. After that, Thursday the 20th is the only other morning with a pulse, but it’s still small and weak. For the rest of the 16-day window, it’s mostly flat or tiny, poor quality waves with onshore winds.
If you’re desperate for a paddle, the Monday the 17th morning is the only real shout, but keep the expectations low. For the most part, the setup is flat and clean, which is more interesting for a paddleboard or a swim than a surfboard.
Rusty, signing off.

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.
