The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let's be real about this one.
I'm looking at the next 16 days for Darigayos, and it's a tough stretch. The truth is, there are no good surf options on the table for the entire forecast period. That’s a long, blank run. Every single morning and afternoon from now until the 27th of August is flagged with poor surf conditions. We’ve got thunderstorms, rain, and consistently cross-shore or cross-onshore winds spoiling the lineup.
The water temperature is sitting at 85°, which is about normal for this time of year, but that's about the only thing that's normal.
We do see a bit of a pulse on the 22nd of August (Saturday morning) with a swell from the west at 5ft and a period of 9 seconds. The combined energy hits a moderate 404, but it's coming with a messy cross-onshore wind from the SSW at 12 mph. It’s a beach-and-reef setup, and with that chop, it honestly looks more interesting for kite surfing than a paddle session. The sets might be there, but the surface will be a mess.
The few other tiny bumps we see, like a 2ft WNW swell on the 24th, are just too small and weak to get excited about. The combined energy on that day is only 73, which is weak. Even the glassy conditions on the 25th of August (Tuesday afternoon) are only pushing a 1ft swell. It’s clean, but it’s barely a ripple.
So, to put it bluntly, this is a 16-day stretch to leave the boards in the rack. The consistent lack of any decent swell windows and the persistent wind just don't line up for a worthwhile paddle. Forecasts can change, but right now, it's a hard pass.
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.
