Surfing in Siargao

Siargao, known as the surfing capital of the Philippines, features renowned breaks that draw wave riders from across the globe. The island offers several distinct surf spots, each catering to a different skill level — so whether you are paddling out for the first time or chasing a heavy barrel, there is a wave here for you.

Jacking Horse

Jacking Horse serves beginners well. Its name references the characteristic behaviour of its waves at the reef. Located adjacent to Cloud 9, this spot can get crowded, but it holds excellent conditions during high tides. Access is limited from June through August, when the swell diminishes.

Cloud 9

Cloud 9 is the island’s premier destination, drawing advanced surfers year-round. Peak conditions arrive in September and October, while the winter months offer learner-friendly waves with reduced intensity.

“The island is like a sacred pilgrimage to surfers from across the world.”

Quiksilver

Quiksilver challenges experienced riders with an aggressive right-hand barrel. The best surfing happens from September to November, before the winter diminishes the wave quality.

Tuason’s Point

Tuason’s Point features a heavier left-hand tube than the neighbouring breaks. Intermediate-to-advanced surfers will find suitable sections here, particularly during summer and in September, when offshore winds stay consistent.

Stimpy’s

Stimpy’s is accessible only by boat and produces low-tide barrels ranging from 2 to 10 feet. This unparalleled left-hander delivers world-class barrels at low tide, and is rideable year-round except from June through August.
