The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Gotta be straight with you – the outlook for the next couple of weeks in this neck of the woods is a tough one. We're looking at a long, quiet stretch with barely a ripple to get excited about. It's a real bummer, but it happens.
Starting off on Saturday the 8th of August and running all the way through the middle of the month, it's pretty much a write-off. The waves are tiny, barely a whisper at 0.33 ft to 1 ft, and the wind is a constant problem. Most of the time we're dealing with a fresh to strong cross-onshore or cross-shore breeze, making it choppy and lumpy. The combined swell energy is just not there, barely registering at all. The water's sitting at a warm 86 °F, which is pretty normal for the time of year, but that doesn't help the surf. There's a long gap of about 12 days where you're better off leaving the boards in the garage.
Now, we do see a little flicker of life towards the end of the run. On Thursday the 20th of August, there's a tiny pulse of swell from the south at 2 ft, but it's a pathetic 3-second period and the wind is still a fresh cross-shore mess. The energy is still weak. Honestly, that's not surfable for a paddle.
The one and only spot we have to look at is Darigayos. It's a consistent reef break that's exposed to northerly swells, but we just aren't getting any of that proper energy. Throughout this entire period, the conditions are just poor, with zero scores across the board. There's no standout here, no hidden gem. It's a hard truth, but sometimes the ocean just takes a holiday. This is one of those times.
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.
