The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what’s coming up for the Darigayos area.
Well, I gotta be straight with you – this forecast is a grim one. We’re looking at a long, dry run with absolutely nothing on offer for the best part of two weeks. From Thursday the 30th of July right through to the morning of Thursday the 13th of August, the surf is basically a write-off. That’s a solid two-week gap with no recommendation. The water is sitting at a warm 87°F, which is a touch warmer than what’s normal for this time of year, but you won’t be feeling it from the beach because there’s hardly a wave to be had. The first few days are completely flat, and even when tiny, weak pulses try to show up, the wind is all wrong – mostly cross-onshore, with a few days of moderate to strong breezes making a mess of things. The combined energy of any swell is next to nothing, with values like 35 (moderate low energy) and 2 (weak energy) popping up, but it’s still not enough to get excited about. Honestly, if you’re a kite surfer, the persistent cross-onshore wind might be more interesting than what we’ve got for paddling.
Then, on the morning of Thursday the 13th of August, we finally get a tiny glimmer of hope. Darigayos – a consistent reef break that’s exposed to the north – might see a small pulse of swell. The swell is coming from the WNW at 3 ft, with a period of 8 seconds. That’s a short-period swell, so it won’t have much grunt behind it. The combined energy is only 75 (weak energy). The morning is glassy, which is a rare treat, making it clean. But the catch is it’s only 3 ft, and that’s a pretty small wave for a reef. It’s surfable, but you’ll be hunting for a ride. The afternoon turns to a cross-shore breeze, and it’ll get choppy. So, that Thursday morning is your best – and really only – shot in the entire outlook. It’s not a standout, but it’s the only time the stars align at all.
After that, Friday the 14th of August is back to junk with a tiny 1 ft to 2 ft mix and messy winds. So, the takeaway is stark: pack your bags or find something else to do, because the surf is not happening for Darigayos for the next 16 days. The one bright spot, if you can call it that, is the glassy Thursday morning, but it’s a small wave for a confident intermediate.
Rusty, signing off.

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.
