The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what the next couple of weeks are serving up at Darigayos.
Honestly, the outlook is pretty grim for the foreseeable future. We’re looking at a long, dry spell with barely a ripple for days on end. The first real chance of anything rideable doesn’t pop up until the afternoon of Wednesday the 2nd of September, and even then it’s a marginal call.
From now through to the start of September, it’s flat and ugly. Strong cross-onshore winds, storms, and zero wave energy dominate the scene. There’s a small pulse on the morning of the 28th of August, but at 0.3 ft it’s not worth even looking at. The same story repeats through the weekend and into the start of the week.
Finally, on the afternoon of Wednesday the 2nd of September, we get a hint of life. The swell bumps up to 5 ft from the north, with a short period of 8 seconds and moderate energy (279). The wind is cross-shore and gentle, so there’s a chance it cleans up a little, but conditions are described as marginal. This is the only window in the whole 16 days that might offer a wave or two, but it’s not going to be anything to write home about.
After that, it’s back to small, choppy, and messy. A few tiny pulses on the 3rd and 4th of September, with swell around 2 ft to 3 ft and short periods, but the wind stays cross or cross-on. Energy levels are weak, in the 40s and 60s. The morning of the 5th of September shows a 1.0 ft north-northeast swell with a very long period of 12 seconds, but combined energy is only 31, and the wind is a fresh cross-shore with lumpy chop. Not a recipe for clean waves.
The second week fades into nothing. From the 6th of September onward, it’s all cross-onshore wind, small swell (if any), and energy values in the single digits or zero. The 10th of September offers a tiny 2 ft swell with a 3-second period – that’s windswell junk.
There is no standout session here. The only solitary mention is the afternoon of the 2nd of September, but even that’s a “marginal” call. For a consistent reef break like Darigayos, this is a shocking run. It’s a right-off.
Stay patient. Forecasts can change, but right now, it’s a waiting game.

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.
