The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here. Let's take a look at what's shaping up for Darigayos over the next couple of weeks.
Honestly, the first week and a bit is a tough stretch. We’re looking at a long gap of flat, weak conditions. From Wednesday the 16th right through to the morning of Sunday the 27th, there’s just nothing doing. Swell is tiny, mostly around 1 ft to 3 ft from the north, with a short, weak period of 6 to 7 seconds. The combined energy is barely registering (12 to 65), so it's all close to flat. Winds are light, but mostly cross-onshore or straight onshore, which doesn't help. There’s a brief moment Thursday afternoon the 17th where it goes glassy, but the swell is still only 2 ft. You could probably get a little knee-high wall if you’re desperate, but it's ordinary. This is a reef break, and with almost no energy, it’s a waste of time.
That flat spell finally breaks on Sunday the 27th. The morning sees a bump to 4 ft from the north (period 6 seconds, energy 88), but it's still onshore and lumpy, so it’s not clean. Monday the 28th is where things get interesting. We get a solid pulse of swell: 8 ft to 8 ft from the northwest, with the period stretching to 8-9 seconds. The combined energy jumps to 714-881, so there’s proper power in the water. Winds are light and cross-onshore, so it’s not perfect, but it’s surfable. That said, at over 8 ft, this is expert territory only. The break quality is still questionable due to the wind.
The standout window, and the only one worth circling on the calendar, is Tuesday the 29th. This is the best of the run. Morning pushes 7 ft from the north with a long 12-second period, and winds are light cross-onshore. The energy is pumping at 1299. But the real gem is Tuesday afternoon. The swell hangs in at 8 ft from the north, the period stretches to a very long 13 seconds, and the wind drops to a glassy calm. That’s a recipe for clean, powerful waves at this reef. The energy is a massive 1659. This is a proper groundswell, so expect long, well-shaped lines that will hold up nicely here. Keep in mind, at that size, it's only for experienced surfers. A few crowds are possible, but with the conditions this good, it’s worth the company.
After that, Wednesday the 30th and Thursday the 1st see the swell drop fast and winds turn into a strong, choppy cross-onshore mess. The window closes quickly.
So, the call is simple: sit out the first 11 days. If you’ve got the skill, aim for Tuesday the 29th. The afternoon glass-off is the one to chase.

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.
