Darigayos Surf Forecast and Surf Report

Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what’s cookin' for the next couple of weeks.

Well, I gotta be straight with you – the outlook is a tough one. We’re looking at a long, flat spell with no real surf to speak of for the first week. From now until about the 21st of July, it’s pretty much a bust. The wind is mostly cross or cross-onshore, and the energy is just not there. You’d be better off takin' a break or cleanin' the wax off your board.

The first real sign of life shows up on the 22nd of July at Darigayos. We’re talkin’ tiny little waves though, with a combined energy of only 11 (very weak). It’s a reef break, exposed to the north, but the swell is coming from the WNW at just 1ft to 1ft. The period is short, around 7 seconds, so it’s windswell, not groundswell. The wind is a cross-onshore, which will keep it a bit bumpy. It’s not a day to get excited about, but at least there’s a ripple.

The 23rd of July looks similar, with a touch more size but still only 1ft and a weak 19 combined energy. The wind does turn offshore on the afternoon though, which is a nice change. That could make those little waves glassy for a few hours, but it’s still a knee-high day at best.

After that, the 24th and 25th of July drop right back off into almost nothing, with energy readings of 1. The wind lightens up, but there’s just no push to the swell.

The last few days of the month into the 30th of July, we see a tiny bit of swell from the north, but again it’s small and weak. There’s a moment on the 30th of July morning where the wind goes clean and cross-offshore, and we get a 1ft wave from the north. The energy is still just 6, so it’s flat, but at least it’s clean flat.

Honestly, there’s no standout session here. The best you can hope for is a glassy, tiny wave on the 23rd of July afternoon or the 30th of July morning. For a reef break that’s normally consistent, this is a dry spell. Keep the board in the car, but don’t rush to the water.

Rusty.
