The Lowdown
G’day, Rusty here. Let’s be straight with you – the next fortnight is looking pretty bleak for a proper paddle. We’ve got a long stretch of poor conditions ahead, with no real swell and winds that are mostly cross or onshore, kicking up chop and generally making things messy.
To be honest, the start is a write-off. From Saturday right through to Wednesday, there’s barely a wave over ankle-biters, and the wind is mostly fresh and lumpy off the land. The stormy weather and rain are going to keep the surface chopped up, and you’d be wasting your time paddling out. You’re looking at a good four to five-day gap with nothing on offer.
There is a brief tease of something towards the end of the week on Friday, the 4th of September. The swell picks up to around 4ft from the west-northwest, with an 8-second period. The energy is still on the lower-moderate side (128), and while the wind eases to a gentle breeze, it’s still a cross-shore, so don't expect much. The surf report says it’s poor, so this isn't the one you skip work for.
The next blip comes on Wednesday the 9th. This is the most interesting, but only just. Swell jumps to 4ft from the northwest with a 10-second period. That pushes the combined energy to a moderate 342-385. However, it’s flagged as marginal, with questionable tide issues, and the wind, while light, is still cross-onshore. This is about as good as it gets, but I wouldn’t call it a standout. It’s just the most surfable of a very poor bunch. The conditions are still only marginal, so keep expectations low.
For the rest of that second week, it just fades away again. By the 13th of September, we’re back to tiny leftovers and more cross-onshore winds. The entire 16-day window is a struggle.
Look, the one spot with any real chance is Darigayos, a consistent reef break. But even there, the setup looks less like a surf session and more like a kite-surfing day with the constant onshore wind and chop. For us paddle surfers, it’s not looking good. It won’t stay this flat forever, but this forecast is a real dog.
Rusty, signing off.

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.
