The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what’s on the cards for Darigayos out in the Philippines over the next couple of weeks.
Right off the bat, I gotta be straight with you – this is a tough one. The first week and a half is pretty much a write-off. We’re looking at a lean stretch from now until about the 13th of September. There’s a lot of nothing happening, and what little swell does show up is getting hammered by strong, messy winds. You’ll be staring at a lot of lumpy, choppy water with cross-shore and cross-onshore breezes in the 12 to 25 mph range. Honestly, the setup here looks more interesting for kite surfing than paddle surfing for most of this period.
There is a brief pulse on the 1st of September with a 7ft swell from the west, but it’s coming with a storm risk and a fresh cross-shore wind, so it’s going to be a messy, lumpy affair. The water temp is sitting at a pretty balmy 84° and the anomaly is just -0.3°, so it’s bang on average for the time of year. But honestly, that’s small comfort when there’s no surfable waves.
We then drift into a quiet stretch through the middle of the month with tiny, weak swells of 1ft or less, and periods dropping below 8 seconds. The energy is just not there – you’ll see combined energy readings in the low double digits or single digits. It stays like that until the end of the second week.
Now, finally, there’s a glimmer of hope. On the morning of Monday the 14th of September, things start to look up. It’s not a classic, but it’s the only real stand-out in the whole window. We’ve got a 4ft swell from the north with a period of 9 seconds, and the combined energy (258) finally showing some proper moderate oomph. The real kicker here is the wind. It’s a light cross-offshore breeze from the NNE, coming in at a gentle 9 mph. That’s going to keep the faces clean. This is a reef break, and it’s fairly consistent, so it should hold that size well. If you’re an intermediate and you’ve been waiting for a window, this is it. The swell direction from the north matches the optimum direction for this spot perfectly. Just be aware that crowds are possible here, so don’t expect to have it all to yourself.
The afternoon of the same day holds some 4ft swell, but the wind swings more cross-shore, so you’ll want to get your session in during the morning when it’s properly clean.
After that, the outlook drops off again into tiny stuff. So, for the next fortnight, your one and only call is that Monday morning session on the 14th of September. It’s a long way off, so the details could shift, but right now, that’s our best bet.
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.
