The Lowdown
Alright, let’s break it down. The outlook here is a tough one for the next 16 days. Darigayos is a reef break that’s exposed to the north, and it’s a consistent spot, but it’s going to be a long wait before anything worthwhile shows up.
We’re looking at a real dry spell to start. From Sunday the 23rd of August all the way through until the end of the month, there’s pretty much nothing on offer. The wind is mostly cross or cross-on, with moderate to fresh breezes, and there’s a lot of stormy weather and rain around. The wave energy is either zero or very weak, and the few small waves that do show are all under 2ft, with poor conditions. It’s a rough patch, and honestly, not worth paddling out for.
The first real sign of life comes on Wednesday the 2nd of September. That’s a full week and a half away. Early that morning, we get a massive jump in size – 20ft from the west, with a period of 11 seconds. The combined swell energy is a whopping 7814, which is very strong, but the wind is a moderate cross-shore from the SSW, and the forecast is for marginal conditions with questionable tide. That’s a lot of power, but it’s messy and probably too big for most, really only for experts. The swell direction from the west isn’t ideal for this north-facing break, so it’s going to be a raw, challenging session.
After that, the swell drops quickly. Thursday the 3rd still has some size – around 5ft from the NNW with a 10-second period, and moderate swell energy around 500. The wind is cross-shore, and the conditions are still marginal. It’s a step down, but it’s the most consistent period we’ll see. The rest of the week into early September fades off with smaller, weaker swells, and the wind never really cleans up. By Sunday the 6th, there’s a tiny window of hope with a 3ft, 8-second swell from the NNW and glassy conditions in the afternoon, but that’s very small and weak.
The standout, if you can call it that, is the morning of Wednesday the 2nd of September. That’s the only time the energy really pumps, but with the wind, the marginal conditions, and the less-than-ideal swell direction, it’s a gamble. For a consistent spot like Darigayos, this is a long, quiet spell, but it won’t last forever. Keep an eye on that date, but don’t get your hopes too high.
Stay safe out there.

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.
