SURF SPOTS IN SIARGAO ISLAND
-
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.
CEMETERY PESANGAN LEFT
In front of the resort. Possible to walk/paddle there (20 min), or accessible by boat (3 min. 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.
CEMETERY PESANGAN RIGHT
In front of the resort. Possible to walk/paddle there (20 min), or accessible by boat (3 min). Just next to Pesangan Left. Long and ripable 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.
DAKO ISLAND
Fun and gentle wave breaking in front of Dako Island (located in front of the resort) 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 of the resort (10 min ride).
SALVATION
Very Long right hander wave that breaks in front of the village of Salvation. 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 Salvation. Need some swell to break. It works at all tides but better mid tide.
PACIFICO
A long barreling left wave that breaks over a rocky reef.
Surfed all tides. 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 or in front of Kermit Siargao North Shore..
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.

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.
