The Lowdown
Alright, let’s call it as it is for Darigayos. The start of this forecast is dead quiet. From Sunday, August 23rd, through the morning of Tuesday, September 1st, there is flat, poor surf day after day. Cross and cross-onshore winds, constant thunderstorm risk. It’s a long, slow stretch with no waves worth paddling for.
The first sign of anything comes on the afternoon of Wednesday, September 2nd. A tiny swell of 0.3ft from the north with glassy conditions (SE 3 mph). Not enough to really surf, but it’s clean on the surface. Then Thursday, September 3rd, the morning glass (S 3 mph) gives us a 2ft north swell at 10 seconds. Combined energy is still low at 47 (weak). Water temp is 85°F, with a 0.2°F anomaly—dead average for the season.
The most promising window falls on the morning of Friday, September 4th. A 3ft swell from the north-northwest with an 8-second period. Combined energy hits 146 (moderate). Wind is light cross-onshore from the WSW at 3 mph. It’s not perfect, but for this long stretch of flat, it’s the closest thing to a surfable wave. The afternoon stays similar at 3ft (NNW, 8 secs, 113 energy).
After that, it drops back down. Saturday the 5th fades to 2ft, and the rest of the forecast dwindles to nearly nothing. Darigayos is a consistent reef break that wants a clean north swell, but we just aren’t getting the size or the good winds together. For now, it’s a waiting game.
Stay patient.

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.
