The Lowdown
G’day, I’m Rusty. Let’s be straight with you — this outlook is a tough one. Over the next 16 days, Darigayos (a reef break) is the only spot in the mix, and honestly, the surf is pretty much a write-off for most of it. The water temperature is sitting at 86°, which is about 2° warmer than usual for this time of year — nothing crazy, but it’s a touch balmy.
Right now, on Sunday afternoon, we’ve got a weak 3ft swell from the NNW at a short 4 seconds, with a cross breeze blowing at 12 mph. The energy is low (36), and it’s just messy. That sets the tone. Monday’s a bit smaller again, with 2ft in the morning and 1ft in the afternoon, both with cross-onshore winds. Tuesday morning sees a bit of a bump — 5ft from the west with a 6-second period — but it’s still poor, with a cross breeze and a moderate energy reading of 177. That’s the best we see for a while, and it’s not good.
Then comes a long, dry gap. From Wednesday morning all the way through to Saturday morning, August 15th, there’s virtually no surf to speak of — wave heights are flat or just a few inches, with zero energy for days on end. Cross-onshore winds and stormy conditions dominate. It’s a real blank stretch.
The only glimmer comes late in the window: on Saturday afternoon, August 15th, we get a tiny 2ft swell from the south at 4 seconds, with a clean offshore breeze from the ENE at 6 mph. Energy is just 10, so it’s weak, but at least it’s clean. Still, don’t bother paddling out — it’s barely a ripple.
So, bottom line: nothing worth chasing here. This reef rarely turns on, and the 16-day forecast shows no real swell. It’s a tough run, but that’s the way it goes sometimes. Keep an eye on the forecasts — things can change.
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.
