SURF SPOTS IN SIARGAO

BELOW IS AN OVERVIEW OF THE MOST FAMOUS SURF SPOTS IN SIARGAO ISLAND. HOWEVER, DON'T FORGET THAT THERE ARE PLENTY OF OTHER SECRET SPOTS LEFT OUT OF THIS LIST...

 

CLOUD 9

5 minutes motorbike from the Resort. A perfect barreling right mainly but also left. Wave breaking over a quite soft reef. It's a world class wave and can get very crowded and very heavy. Best to be surf during mid to high tide. But possible to surf even low tide, just very shallow. Although it is a relatively short wave, it barrels nearly the whole way and guarantees high satisfaction. Not a beginner wave. Take turns and respect locals.

QUICKSILVER

Located next to Cloud 9, it's a similar wave but normally smaller in size. The wave is normally a right, but sometimes the left is good as well. Although not as infamous as Cloud 9, it should not be underestimated, as it can be quite heavy. Best to be surf during mid to high tide; low tide is breaking over dry reef shallow. It’s a fast wave with a beginning barreling section. Small can be a beginner wave but big is very heavy.

JACKING HORSE

A jacking peak that explodes on to a shallow reef can be surfed all tides, just be careful low tide. It can be left and right. The right can get very long.  The wave then reforms on the inner reef creating a beginner wave named Little Pony.

ROCK ISLAND

An excellent long right hander wave that breaks and barrels next to a island. 100 meters from Stimpies. Best with no wind at low to mid tide. When big get heavy, clean out set might come. It can hold swell up to double overhead. Accessible by boat from Cloud 9.

STIMPIES

A first class left hander wave that wraps around a small island. Fun wave under 3 feet - over that size it becomes very heavy but still breaks perfectly. When big it becomes one of the heaviest wave in Siargao be ready of long hold down. Great for pictures. Great tubes and can handle big swells. Good low to medium tide. Good on north wind. If big good on high tide as well. Accessible by boat from Cloud 9.

TUASON LEFT

Easily accessible. It's a very powerful wave breaking over a shallow reef. The wave is one of the best lefts in the island, however it only starts to work at 3 feet. Best at high tide to mid tide.  Low tide can be dangerous since it gets pretty shallow in places and close out. If the swell direction is good and wind offshore you can have 5 seconds barrel. You must chose the wave carefully some close out heavily. Super fast wave. Respect locals here and take turns, it used to be a secret wave until few years ago. NOT A BEGINNER WAVE.

TUASON RIGHT

Easily accessible. Breaking in between Cloud 9 and Tuason Left. Working only on South Swell. Mid to High tide only. Another powerful wave breaking over a quite shallow reef. There are 3 different take off point. On big days the 3 “waves” align and you can have 200 meters ride with some barreling section.

PANSUKIAN REEF

Needs medium to large swell direct from the east to south east. This wave looks like an upside down, teardrop shaped barrel. It's a heavy break and only for expert surfers. Better high tide. Accessible by boat from General Luna (15 min).

PESANGAN (CEMETERY) LEFT 

Located just a short walk from Kermit, Pesangan—also known as Cemetery—is one of the most accessible waves from the resort. A 200-meter walk brings you to Tourism Road, followed by a quick walk before reaching the beach and paddling out. Very long and rippable left.  It can barrel in the inside when the wind is offshore. It holds size very well and can be surfed even huge. Best mid to low tide.  Perfect intermediate wave when not too big.

PESANGAN (CEMETERY) RIGHT

Just next to Pesangan Left. Long and rippable right, maybe little more steep then the left sister. It can barrel in the inside when the wind is offshore. It holds size very well and can be surfed even huge. Best mid to low tide. Perfect intermediate wave when not too big.

DAKU ISLAND

Fun and gentle wave breaking in front of Daku Island over a deep coral reef. Good wave for learning but can become big during the winter season. Mid to high tide only.  Accessible by boat from General Luna (10 min ride).

DAKU CORNER  

First class wave breaking in the north tip of Daku island. Normally right hander. When big it offers some barrels - this is not a beginner's wave. Beware not to get caught in the inside because it can be difficult to get out to the line up again. Accessible by boat from General Luna (10 min ride).

GUYAM ISLAND

In front of General Luna is Guyam Island. There are many breaks behind the island. You can choose your own peak, no competition for waves. Best low to medium tide. Accessible with a boat from GL.

SALVACION

Very Long right hander wave that breaks in front of the village of Salvacion. Beginner friendly wave when small but heavy when big. If you get caught inside it s a long paddle out. Sometimes might be little fast, get lot of speed. (January to March) and mid to high tide. Access by boat from Salvacion. Need some swell to break. It works at all tides but better mid tide.

PILAR LEFT

Quality left hander wave that breaks in front of Pilar. Very long wave with few barreling section and super rippable wall. Sometimes might be little fast, get lot of speed.  Good when the wind come from the north (January to March) and mid to high tide. Access by boat from Salvacion or paddle out from Pilar.  It need a quite big swell to break, mid to high tide only.

PACIFICO

A long barreling left wave that breaks over a rocky reef.  Low tide can be quite shallow and you have to jump out the last final section because breaking over dry reef. On big swell it’s very heavy. 1h motorbike drive from General Luna.

OTHER WAVES

Within 2 hours boat or motorbike ride there are approximately 10 world class breaks, which are always uncrowded and well worth the trip. There are also a few well guarded secret spots that can be found if you look hard enough. If the swell conditions are good Kermit organizes trips to these amazing waves daily.
