Surf Spots

Please surf within your limits. The ocean can be a dangerous environment and beginners should stay out of expert spots. These are the most well known spots, and while you may find others during your stay, we believe it is always better to keep a little left for you to discover. Ask us about instructors and/orguides when you are here and enjoy the waves.
Pacifico/Bigwish is a long barreling left (you can sometimes surf a right hander) with up to 3 sections. Best surfed at mid tide although it may be surfed at high tide too and low tide if you are an expert surfer. It can be dangerously shallow. This wave is an expert level wave, currents can be very strong and waves get big and heavy in the months of September/October. It can be surfed all around the year with its peak in September/October above mentioned, and its lowest during June/July. Not much localism as long as regular courtesy and priority is observed.

Chances are, you came to Siargao for this very popular barreling right hander. Home to WSL's international Siargao Surfing Cup (September/October), to be surfed by experts only preferably mid tide. Watch out for that reef!

Great right hander for beginners, a stones throw away from cloud 9 which makes it likely to be crowded. Best surfed at high tide with a south west wind and east/north-east swell, although mid tide is ok too.

Direction: right Level: Beginner - Intermediate Best wind: South Best swell size: 3 - 8 ft Best swell direction: North East Best tide: Around high tide. Mid tide going high or high going mid are fine. Best for: People who have a little experience on a surfboard and can paddle and catch a wave by themselves to surfers who are just getting familiar with a short board. Also fine for complete beginners if accompanied by an instructor/guide. Crowd factor: medium - high. Gets very crowded at times, one of the most popular spots especially when the conditions are good. Due to this being a beautiful spot to teach lessons and the soft, easy nature of the wave, Daku is a favorite wave for many resorts to take their guests. How to get there: You can find boats for hire by the market / boardwalk in General Luna. It takes about 15 minutes each way and the driver will wait for you (or surf with you) and take you back for 200 pesos per person (min 2 pax). Kind of wave: Daku is best surfed at about shoulder high and with light, offshore (west) winds. When these conditions line-up Daku is one of the best waves in the world to surf. Slow, soft take-off onto a decent sized right-hand wave that goes on forever in the most beautiful scenery you've ever seen. These conditions are most often seen in the peak season of late Aug to November. Surf season: All-year except summer months. Daku can be surfed any time of the year that the winds are light or off-shore and there's a decent sized swell. It doesn't work too well through the winter (choppy because of on-shore or cross-shore winds) and it's usually flat in the summer months. Ideal conditions are most often seen in the peak season of late Aug to November, this is when Daku is surfed most often as the prevailing winds are off-shore and we see a lot of good swell.

Sightseeing

Beautiful setting for a swim and a day out away from the waves. Avoid during weekends and public holidays as it can get really crowded.
