The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here. Let’s talk about what’s happening at Darigayos.
Right now, honest to god, this stretch of the 16-day window is a total write-off. We’ve got nothing but poor surf conditions locked in for the foreseeable future. From Monday 17 August all the way up to the start of September, there’s barely a whisper of a rideable wave. The first tiny pulse of swell doesn’t even show up until the morning of Friday 21 August, and even then it’s a weak 0.3 ft from the north with a combined swell energy of just (2). The wind’s a fresh cross-shore, lumpy, and messy – not worth paddling out for.
Honestly, this is just a stretch of flat or near-flat conditions. The energy numbers are almost all zeros, and even when we see a little blip – like the 2 ft cross-shore chop on Saturday 22 August afternoon – the period’s down at 4 seconds. That’s just wind slop with weak energy (10). There’s occasional cleaner moments thanks to cross-off wind, but with zero swell to work with, clean doesn’t mean rideable.
The single last gasp on the charts comes on 1 September: a 0.3 ft north swell, 12-second period – that’s actually a touch of long-period energy but it’s just 0.3 ft tall. Combined energy of (3). Doesn’t matter if the wind’s clean cross-off, there’s nothing to surf. This is a barren run at Darigayos.
For the first week, there’s nothing to highlight. You’re better off doing something else. But believe me, this kind of blank run happens here; it won’t stay poor forever, but for now, there’s no standout, no hope, and no surf on offer in the 16-day window.
Rusty.

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.
