The Lowdown
G’day, Rusty here. Look, I’ve been staring at the charts for Darigayos and, to be honest, it’s a tough outlook. We’ve got a solid 16-day window, but the first week and a bit is basically a write-off for any decent wave riding. The swell energy is either flat or weak, and most of that time we’re dealing with stormy winds and lumpy conditions.
The first real sign of life doesn’t show up until Thursday afternoon, the 3rd of September, with a small pulse of 5ft swell from the WNW, but the cross-shore wind is still messing it up and the rating is poor. Things stay pretty grim through the first week, with tiny waves and onshore or cross-shore breezes. There’s one brief moment on Monday afternoon, the 7th of September, when the wind drops to glassy and the water goes flat calm, but the swell is only 2ft – surfable but very ordinary.
The best chance in this whole forecast is shaping up for the second week, particularly around Saturday the 12th and Sunday the 13th of September. On the Saturday afternoon, we see a jump to 5ft from the N, but it’s a short-period 7 seconds, with light cross-on wind. Still, it’s a step up. The real standout, though, is Sunday the 13th. The morning brings a solid 8ft swell from the NNW, with a period of 8 seconds. The combined swell energy is pumping at 697, which is strong. However, with that size and onshore wind, this is for experienced surfers only – too big for beginners at over 8ft. The afternoon cleans up a bit with lighter wind and 6ft from the N. The crowd factor at Darigayos can be an issue as it’s sometimes packed, and being a consistent reef break, it handles that size well when the wind plays ball.
So, my pick: if you’re an advanced surfer, Sunday the 13th of September is the day to circle. The water temp is around 84°, which is pretty much normal for this time of year. The NW direction is a bit off the optimum N, but the energy is there. Just be aware that longer period swells (over 8 sec) can break a bit straight at a reef, so look for the corners.
For the rest of the window, don’t hold your breath. There are days with no swell at all early on. Keep an eye on the forecasts, but for now, don’t plan a trip around this one.
Rusty.

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.
