The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s be straight with you. Looking at this 16-day window for Darigayos, I’ve got to be honest – it’s a tough stretch. The finder is basically a blank page for solid surf. The pattern is locked into a run of poor surf quality, with cross-onshore winds and messy conditions dominating. There’s a gap of several days right at the start where there’s nothing to get excited about, and that theme carries through most of the forecast.
The first real pulse of energy we see is around Monday, August 10th. A long-period groundswell from the NNE pushes through, with combined swell energy hitting moderate levels (142). The swell is small though, around 2 ft to 2 ft, with a period of 16 seconds – that’s a very long period groundswell. For a reef setup like Darigayos, that long period could mean some nice, lined-up waves, but the problem is the wind. It’s a strong cross-onshore, 28 mph, making it messy. This is more of a kite session than a clean paddle surf. The water temp is a warm 86°, about average for the time of year.
The standout, if you can call it that, is the very early morning of August 10th. The swell is there, the direction is decent for the break’s optimum (NNE), but the wind is just too strong. It’s a “watch and wait” situation. Honestly, the best advice I can give is to keep an eye on the forecast, because this setup is not offering any clean, rideable waves for the foreseeable future. The reef is consistent, but with the wind locked in from the southwest, it’s going to stay blown out.
There’s a tiny blip of 1 ft swell on August 9th with a very long 15-second period, but with 28-31 mph winds, it’s a total mess. Nothing to paddle out for.
So, no real standouts. It’s a blank run, and for this area, that’s not unusual when the wind settles into that pattern. Stick to the flat spells and wait for the next system to shift.
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.
