Table - best surf conditions forecast for Diano Marina over the next 16 days.
Right, let’s have a look at what’s doin’ for the next couple of weeks. Honestly, mate, I’m lookin’ at this and it’s pretty flat out there. The whole 16-day window is lean, real lean. There’s nothin’ that’s gonna get the heart pumpin’ from a proper surf perspective. The combined wave energy barely cracks double digits, and most days it’s a big fat zero (0 energy). The water is a warm 80°, which is a wild 8° warmer than usual for this time of year – feels more like a bath than the sea.
We start off Monday the 13th, and it’s a total write-off. No swell to speak of. Tuesday the 14th brings a tiny whisper of a wave, a 0.3ft to 0.7ft bump from the SE and SSE, but the period is a pathetic 4 seconds – that’s just wind slop. Conditions are clean enough on Tuesday morning with a light cross-offshore breeze, but the swell is just too small to bother with.
Wednesday the 15th morning is a real tease. Glassy conditions, dead flat water, and a tiny 1ft swell from the SSW with a 6-second period. That’s the best we’ve got all week, and it’s still barely a ripple. The combined energy is a measly 7. Thursday the 16th is more of the same – glassy morning with a 1ft SW swell, but the period drops back to 4 seconds. Light and weak.
The whole second week is a wasteland. Friday the 17th, Saturday the 18th, Sunday the 19th, Monday the 20th – all tiny, all weak, with combined swell energy never getting above 20. Sunday the 19th morning has a little 2ft SW swell and a 5-second period, with clean cross-offshore wind, but it’s still just a small, weak wave. After that, it’s back to zeros and near-zeros.
This break, Diano Marina, is exposed to the south, but the swell is just never there. For a beginner, those tiny, weak waves might be a laugh on a SUP, but for a proper surf, there’s nothin’ on offer. The outlook is pretty grim. The setup is so small and weak, even the kite surfers would be bored.

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.
