The Lowdown
Alright, folks. Rusty here with the skinny on Darigayos for the next couple of weeks.
Let’s not sugarcoat it – the first week and a half is a bust. From Tuesday the 8th of September all the way through to the morning of Wednesday the 16th of September, there’s nothing worth paddling for. The swell is tiny, the wind is all over the place, and the scores are flat. It’s a real dry spell, so don’t waste your time.
Things finally perk up on Thursday the 17th of September. That morning, a west swell arrives at 4ft with a 15-second period. That’s proper groundswell, and the combined energy is strong at 606. The wind is cross-shore from the NNW at 9 mph, which will keep things a little choppy but not terrible. The long period means the reef will handle it well, with good shape and longer waits between sets. Water temp is 84°, pretty normal for this time of year.
The afternoon of the 17th looks similar – 4ft west swell, 14-second period, still cross-shore at 9 mph. The energy stays strong at 607. This is your best window. The swell direction is west, but the spot prefers north, so it won’t be flawless, but it’s the best you’ll get.
Friday the 18th of September still has some west groundswell, but it’s down to 3ft in the morning and 3ft in the afternoon. The period drops to 12 seconds, and the energy is moderate at 310 and 238. The wind is onshore in the morning and cross-onshore in the afternoon, so it’s not as clean.
From Saturday the 19th onward, the swell fades. The afternoon of the 19th is glassy with 2ft and 11-second period, but the energy is weak at 96. It’s surfable but nothing to write home about. From Sunday the 20th through to the 23rd of September, it’s back to tiny, weak, and poor conditions.
The standout is Thursday the 17th of September. That’s the day to make a move. The reef should handle that long-period west swell, and the wind is decent. It’s not a classic, but it’s the only real pulse in the forecast.
Stay patient, and keep your eyes on the horizon.
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.
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.
