The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what’s cookin’ for Darigayos.
Well, truth be told, it’s a pretty flat and quiet run for the next fortnight. The first week is mostly a write-off, with only tiny, weak pulses and messy wind. The real standout doesn’t even show up until Saturday the 25th of July, and even then it’s not a classic.
The only real chance to get wet is Saturday morning, the 25th of July. A little pulse of groundswell pushes in – 4ft from the NNW, with a period of 8 seconds and a combined energy of 264 (moderate). The wind is cross-shore from the SSW at 15 mph, so it’ll be a bit lumpy, but it’s the biggest wave we’ll see all week. That’s the pick of the bunch, but it’s far from perfect. After that, the swell drops off quick and by Sunday afternoon it’s back to knee-high junk.
The water temperature is sitting about 86°F, which is a touch warmer than normal for this time of year, but nothing wild.
Darigayos is a consistent reef break, so it usually needs a decent swell to fire, and we just don’t have that. The direction is a bit off for the optimum N swell (the guidance says optimum is N, and we’re getting NNW). So even the best day is a bit of a compromise.
By the time we get to the first week of August, the models are showing nothing but zeros and fresh cross-shore winds. That’s a long, dry spell. There’s a tiny flicker of life on Friday the 7th of August – 3ft from the NW with a 9-second period – but with 15 mph cross-shore wind, it’ll be a chop-fest.
So, to be straight with you: there’s one mediocre day on the 25th of July, and then a whole lot of nothing. The window is lean. For a spot that’s usually consistent, this is a disappointing run. Keep an eye on the charts, but don’t hold your breath.
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.
