The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what’s cookin’ for Darigayos over the next couple of weeks.
To be straight with you, this is a tough stretch. The first few days are a write-off with no swell to speak of and a persistent cross-onshore breeze. We’re looking at a gap of over a week with genuinely no surf to recommend. The water is sitting at 86°F which is a touch warmer than normal for this time of year, so at least a dip will feel nice, but don’t bother bringing your board for the first week.
Things get interesting around Tuesday, August 11th. That morning, a solid 7ft swell rolls in from the W, but the wind is a messy moderate cross-onshore, and the combined energy is a strong 1029. That’s a serious amount of juice, but the conditions are going to be choppy and lumpy. This is expert-only territory, and even then, the quality is poor. It’s not the clean, groomed stuff we chase.
The best of the whole period, if you can call it a standout, is a fleeting moment on Saturday morning, August 8th. We get a 1.0ft NNE swell with a very long period of 14 seconds, and a combined energy of 39. That’s a long-period groundswell and it’s arriving at a reef break, which is exactly where it shines. The problem is the wind is a strong cross-onshore, making it messy. It’s a tease. For a break that’s consistent and sometimes crowded, if the wind had just been offshore, this would have been a beauty. As it is, it’s a maybe for the die-hards who know the reef.
Anything after that is just more wind and small, weak swell, finishing with a 2ft S swell on Friday, August 14th, but with a period of only 4 seconds and a fresh cross-shore chop. That’s barely a ripple.
Bottom line: Darigayos is going to be a tough watch. The only real highlight is that long-period groundswell on the 8th, but the wind ruins it. Don’t hold your breath.
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.
