The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here again, this time in feet and miles for the imperial crew. Let’s call it as it is – a long, dry spell is coming.
From Thursday August 13th all the way through Sunday August 23rd, Darigayos is dead. No meaningful swell, just crummy cross-shore winds and storm threats. That’s a solid ten days of waiting. Swell is stuck around 2 ft to 2 ft with pathetic 3 to 4 second intervals. Not worth suiting up for.
Finally, Monday August 24th shows a pulse. In the morning you get a 3 ft swell from the WNW with a 9 second period and combined energy of 134. Still light cross-onshore breeze though. But the real window is Monday afternoon – the wind drops to nothing, dead glassy. Swell sits at 3 ft from the WNW, 8 second period, energy reading 129. It’s only ordinary waves, but clean as a whistle over the reef. That’s your best bet for the entire 16 days.
After that, Tuesday and Wednesday look to turn windy and rough again, with nothing else lining up for the rest of the month. Water temp is likely average for August, nothing wild.
So if you can handle a week and a half of flat, your reward is that clean little Monday afternoon session at Darigayos. That’s the only one worth chasing.
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.
