Darigayos Surf Forecast and Surf Report

Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s talk about what’s brewing for Darigayos over the next couple of weeks. I’m not gonna sugarcoat it—the start is tough.

We’re looking at a long stretch of small, weak dribble. For the first week, swell heights are around 2 to 3 feet from the north, but the wind is mostly cross-onshore or cross, and the wave energy is weak—barely hitting 88 at the start. It’s poor surf, day after day. From Saturday the 12th all the way to Saturday the 26th, there’s hardly anything to get excited about. A few moments of glassy or offshore wind pop up, but with no swell to back it up, it’s mostly flat.

But then, on Sunday the 27th of September, we finally get a pulse. That morning brings a 4 foot groundswell from the west, with a 10-second period. The combined energy jumps to 327, which is a solid moderate push. The morning wind is a light cross-onshore, but by the afternoon it goes glassy—true offshore from the WNW at just 3 mph. That’s the best window in the whole outlook. It might be a little “marginal,” but with that clean wind and a real west swell hitting this consistent reef setup, it could be a sneaky good session.

The water temp is a balmy 84°, and the anomaly is only -0.9°, so it’s about average for this time of year. If you’re looking to surf, Sunday the 27th is your only real chance. The rest of the 16 days? I’d say save your energy—it’s mostly a write-off for paddle surfing. With the amount of small, messy surf, some of those days might be better suited for a kite.

So, truth is—it’s a long flat spell right through to the 26th. That kind of blank run is pretty normal for this neck of the woods when the wind’s wrong. But keep an eye on that Sunday the 27th. It might just deliver.

Stay patient,
Rusty.
