Table - best surf conditions forecast for Darigayos over the next 16 days.
G’day, I’m Rusty. Let’s have a look at the local surf scene.
Honestly, for the next sixteen days we’re staring at a pretty grim run. Darigayos is usually a consistent reef break and it handles a north swell well, but right now the ocean is just flat or offering tiny, messy waves. There’s a gap right at the start with nothing worth paddling for. The first real surf doesn’t show until Saturday morning, 11 July. Up to then you’re just looking at poor conditions with cross-onshore breezes and barely a ripple.
Saturday morning, 11 July, we get the first pulse: a 3ft NW swell with a 10-second period, moderate cross-onshore wind out of the SSW at 16 mph. The combined energy of all the swells is moderate (124). It’s messy and choppy, so not a great session. Saturday afternoon improves a little – 3ft from the north, same period, but the wind shifts to a cross-shore at 12 mph. It’s still lumpy with a cross-chop, and the energy is moderate (190). This is the best we’re going to see in the whole outlook, but to be honest the quality is poor. The swell direction (N) matches what the wave guide says is optimum, but the wind is not helping.
Sunday afternoon, 12 July, is the only time we get a clean window. Swell drops to 2ft from the NW, period 7 seconds, but with a cross-offshore breeze out of the SSE at 12 mph. The energy is weak (40). It’s clean, but tiny. Still, if you’re desperate for a glide, that’s your moment. Through the rest of the week it’s a mix of zeros, tiny 0.7-1ft swells, and a lot of stormy winds. Monday 13 July has a 0.7ft WNW swell with a longer 9-second period, but it’s crossed up and weak (8).
Then from Tuesday 15 July onward it’s basically flat for days. A few tiny pulses appear here and there – like Monday morning, 20 July, with a 2ft WNW swell at 7 seconds, light cross-shore wind (46 energy) – but the wind is always messy. By Wednesday 22 July it’s just strong winds and nothing.
The water’s a touch warmer than normal for this time of year, sitting at 87° – a bit muggy. Crowds at Darigayos are only sometimes an issue, but let’s be real, there won’t be anyone out.
All in all, the best of a bad bunch is that Saturday, 11 July afternoon, with the 3ft north swell and cross-shore wind, but it’s still choppy. If you can time Sunday afternoon’s clean, glassy conditions on 12 July with the tiny 2ft swell, that’s your cleanest wave of the period. Keep an eye on forecasts – it tends not to stay this dull for long.

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.
