Conditions at Darigayos in January
January: Cold Surges and Clean Morning Windows
The northeast monsoon is fully locked in, and Darigayos receives a steady conveyor belt of north-northeast energy. Average waves sit at around 4.3ft (1.3m) with a period of 7.9s, placing most surf in the punchy, rideable windswell band. The directional breakdown is heavily skewed toward N (46%) and NNE (36%), with a useful 12% from NNW; the pure WSW-WNW corridor is almost absent, so waves arrive with a northern slant and wrap around the west-northwest exposure. The wind field is mixed: NNW and N flow combine for around 31%, but the real quality comes on the 34% of days when the wind is ideal, especially when high pressure over the Asian mainland nudges the breeze into the ENE/E/ESE/SE range. Air temperatures are pleasant at 22.0°C, rainfall is low at 0.89 mm/day, and the water temperature is 26.1°C, making for comfortable winter surf sessions.
