The Lowdown
Alright, let’s be straight with you. I’ve combed through the next sixteen days for the region and, mate, it’s going to be a grind. We’ve got a long, flat, and messy stretch ahead. The only spot worth even looking at is Darigayos, and honestly, it’s not shaping up to offer much.
Right off the bat, from the 1st through the 8th of August, there’s just nothing doing. We’re talking ankle-biters at best, with swell heights barely kissing 1ft to 2ft, and periods of only 3 to 4 seconds. That’s not surf, that’s just the lake breathing. The wind is mostly cross or cross-on from the northwest and southwest, and the energy readings are pitiful, in the low single digits. It’s all “poor surf conditions” across the board. Thursday the 3rd has a bit of a pulse, a 2ft NW swell, but the period is still short and it’s cross-on. Not worth paddling out for.
Then we hit a proper dead zone. From the 5th of August through the 12th, the swell charts basically flatline. There’s no wave height, no period, nothing to grab onto. The energy is zero for most of this stretch. The wind picks up, especially from the southwest, with gusts reaching 25 mph by the 10th. That’s just making things worse, chopping up an already flat ocean. It’s a long, frustrating gap of about a week where the only thing you’ll be riding is a desk.
Now, there is a tiny flicker of hope late in the window. Around the 9th of August, a long-period swell shows up—16 seconds from the NNE—but the height is a pathetic 2ft. The energy reads 80, which is still weak. And the wind is cross-on from the WSW at 22 mph, so it’s going to be a messy, lumpy mess. Sunday afternoon, the period drops to 14 seconds and the swell height is even less, 1ft. Not worth getting excited about.
The only other pulse comes on the 13th of August. A WNW swell builds through the day, from 2ft in the morning to 3ft in the afternoon, with a period of 10 seconds. The energy ticks up to 140, which is in the moderate range. That’s the most we get all period. But again, the wind is cross-on from the southwest at 16 mph, so it’ll be rough and choppy. It’s a step up from nothing, but it’s still not a classic day at Darigayos (La Union).
After that, the 14th through the 16th goes quiet again. No swell to speak of, just more cross-shore winds and general flatness.
So, bottom line: there are no standout days here. No “drop everything and go” moments. This is a period to catch up on board repairs and watch the cams. If you’re desperate, the afternoon of the 13th is your best bet—that knee-to-waist high WNW swell is the only thing that even gets close to surfable, but it’s going to be bumpy. Water temp is sitting at 86°, which is about average for this time of year, so at least it’ll be warm when you’re sitting there waiting for nothing.
Keep the faith, though. Forecasts can shift. But for now, it’s a flat spell.

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.
