The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here. Let’s be straight with you: we’ve got a lean 16-day window for Darigayos, and it’s a tough one.
Right now, Wednesday the 19th through to the end of the first week, we’re looking at a whole lot of nothing. The wind’s cross-shore or cross-onshore most days, mostly from the south, with thunderstorms or moderate rain in the mix. The swell energy is flat as a pancake, sitting at 0 for days on end. There’s really no surf to speak of.
Then, on Saturday the 22nd of August, we get a little flicker. The morning shows a swell coming in from the west at 5 ft, with a period of 11 seconds and moderate energy of 481. It’s poor surf though, cross-shore wind from the SSW at 16 mph making it choppy. The afternoon cleans up just a touch—gentle breeze, cross-shore, still a little cross-chop—and the swell drops to 4 ft from the west, energy at 396. It’s marginal at best, and the tide could be a factor. This is the only window worth mentioning, and I’m not excited about it. The reef at Darigayos is exposed to the north, and that west swell is not its optimum direction, so the shape won’t be great.
After that, it’s back to the doldrums. Sunday the 23rd through to the end of the month, we’re mostly marked as “poor surf conditions” with tiny or zero swell, and cross-shore or cross-onshore wind. The water temperature is about average for this time of year, so no weirdness there.
The first week of September looks equally grim. A tiny bump of 0.7 ft from the north on the 31st of August and 1st of September, but with strong winds and cross-shore chop, it’s not worth paddling out for.
Honestly, this is a blank run. Consistent breaks like Darigayos tend not to stay this poor for too long, so forecasts can change, but as it stands, the only thing close to a surf is that Saturday afternoon on the 22nd of August. Expect small, messy, west-swell lines with a cross-shore chop. Crowds are possible, but I doubt anyone else will be out for this.
Stay patient, mates. Rusty out.

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.
