The Lowdown
Alright, I’ll be straight with you. Darigayos is looking pretty bleak over the next 16 days. This reef break usually gets consistent waves, but right now we’re looking at a long stretch of flat or nearly flat, messy conditions. Water temp is about 87°F with a temperature anomaly of +0.9°F – about average for this time of year.
From Saturday 18 July through Friday 24 July, it’s completely flat. No swell, just poor surf conditions with cross-onshore winds. That’s a solid week of nothing.
Then around Sunday 26 July we get a few tiny pulses: a 0.6ft north swell with a 4 second period, combined energy of just 1 – that’s weak. Monday 27 July brings a 0.6ft north swell with 5 seconds, energy 3, and a glassy moment Monday afternoon with 1ft north swell, 5 seconds, energy 4. But still, these are ankle-high waves at best, with mostly cross-onshore or light onshore wind. Not worth paddling out for.
The rest of that week – Tuesday 28 July to Thursday 30 July – we get a few more tiny NW and SW swells, but they’re short period (2–4 seconds), combined energy stays under 5. The surf is tiny and messy. Friday 31 July has a couple of 0.3ft NW swells with 5 seconds, but cross winds and energy of 1–2 – forget it.
The only real standout in the whole 16-day window is on Saturday 1 August. The afternoon brings a 4ft south-west swell, 5 second period, and combined energy of 56. That’s still weak to moderate energy, but it’s the biggest swell of the period. Problem is, the wind is cross-onshore from the SW at 9 mph, making it choppy and poor. The swell direction is from the SW, but Darigayos works best on north swells, so it’s not even lining up. And 4ft is not big – it’s shoulder-high at best – but the short period and onshore wind means it’ll be a messy, lumpy wave. Not a beginner wave, but not a proper groundswell either. Honestly, this setup looks more interesting for kite surfing than paddle surfing.
Then Sunday 2 August we get a 3ft south-south-west swell with 4 seconds, energy 17, but again cross-shore wind and poor conditions.
So, bottom line: there are no good surf options in this 16-day window. The forecast shows a long flat spell followed by tiny, short-period, onshore-affected waves. Darigayos is a consistent reef, but it’s just not happening. The blank run is pretty normal for this area when the swell direction is off. Keep an eye on the charts – these things can change, but right now, leave the board at home.

Information about the Darigayos Surf forecast
The above surf forecast table for Darigayos provides essential information for determining whether the surfing conditions will be good over the next 16 days. A general guide to surfing at Darigayos can be found by selecting the local surf guide option on the grey menu. Our Darigayos 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 (Darigayos) 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 Darigayos 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.
Darigayos is 23 km (14 miles) from San Fernando. If you plan a holiday in West Luzon, look for hotels and other accommodation in San Fernando. San Fernando has rooms for a wide range of budgets as well as car hire and transport links.
