The Lowdown
G’day, Rusty here. Look, I’ve been staring at the charts for Darigayos and, to be honest, it’s a pretty quiet run ahead. We’ve got a solid 16-day window but the first week or so is a write-off – just tiny, wind-affected dribble. There’s a glimmer of something bigger in the second week, but it comes with its own problems.
Right now, we’re looking at flat to ankle-biting stuff. From Monday the 7th through to the 10th of September, it’s all tiny swell under 2 ft with lousy wind – mostly cross or cross-onshore, and plenty of rain and thunderstorms about. The combined energy is barely a whisper, reading between 4 and 19 for most of that. Not worth paddling out for.
Thursday the 11th of September shows an improvement – a clean 4 ft swell from the north, with a period of 8 seconds and energy jumping to 165. On the Friday morning, the wind is light offshore from the west, which is a rare gem for this forecast. That’s the first real chance for a wave, but the score is still poor due to the short period and lack of punch. By Saturday the 12th of September, the swell holds at 3 ft from the north with a 9-second period and energy around 153 to 157. The Saturday afternoon session sees a light cross-offshore breeze from the east-northeast, cleaning it right up. The comment says "surfable waves but very ordinary conditions," but that clean wind is a major positive. It’s not a standout, but it’s the best of a mediocre bunch early on.
Then things get a bit wild. On the morning of Wednesday the 16th of September, a solid 7 ft swell from the west-northwest rolls in with a long period of 12 seconds. The combined energy is huge – 1160, which is strong. The water temperature is about 84°, so it’s warm. But the wind is a strong cross-shore from the south-southwest at 16 mph, creating lumpy cross-chop. That size (over 8 ft) is really only for experts, and the wind messes it up. It’s powerful but messy. The afternoon drops to 6 ft with a 11-second period and energy at 853, but the wind goes cross-onshore, making it choppy. Not the clean wave we’d hope for.
As we head into the end of the window, from the 17th of September onward, the swell fades back to small, weak waves under 4 ft, with poor wind conditions and energy dropping to below 41 again. There’s a brief moment on the 20th of September with clean, light winds but the swell is only 0.7 ft – not worth a paddle.
So, what’s the call? The only session that stands out as promising is the Saturday morning, 12th of September, with that 3 ft north swell and glassy offshore wind. That’s your best bet for a clean, manageable wave in this stretch. It’s small but clean. The bigger stuff on the 16th is real powerful but the wind is a letdown – if you’re an experienced charger, it might be worth a look for the energy, but expect chop. For everyone else, keep an eye on the charts; it’s a lean forecast but things can change.
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.
