Siargao Surf Spots Cheat Sheet
Siargao's reefs light up differently with every tide swing. Here is how we line up our sessions, from glassy learner waves to heaving barrels that will have you screaming down the line.
Tide Charts & Tapped Reefs
The ocean here is a living calendar. Keep an eye on tides over 1.8 m for Cloud 9 and Tuason, and chase mid-tide mornings for mellow reef peelers.
Need a board swap or a jetty drop-off? Swing by OK Surf and we will set you up before the winds shift.
Breaks We Love (And Why)
- Cloud 9: Hollow right-handers with bite. Paddle out only when you are comfortable threading steep reefs. Dawn patrol on a rising mid to high tide is the island magic.
- Jacking Horse: Friendly walls with a forgiving shoulder; perfect for beginners and longboard soul trims. Works best on mid tide with light winds.
- Tuason Point: When the swell angle turns north, this left-and-right wedge roars to life. Expect fast walls and a shallow inside section.
- Stimpy's & Rock Island: Boat-access lefts that serve dreamy pointbreak lines. Bring booties for the lava rock exit.
- Pacifico: Head north for open ocean energy and long, ruler-edge rides. A great option when General Luna is stacked.
How We Match You To The Waves
| Level | Daily Game Plan | Board Call |
|---|---|---|
| First timer | Jacking Horse with an instructor tracking sets | Soft-top 8'0" or log |
| Progressing | Cloud 9 backside reforms or Salvacion | Funboard 7'0" to 7'6" |
| Charger | Cloud 9, Tuason, or Pacifico | High-performance shortboard |
Pro move: We check wind charts at 9 p.m. every night. Book a
dawn drop-off with us and you will be the first fins slicing through the
lineup.
Respect The Lineup
- Share priority: locals call waves with a smile; do the same.
- Stay off the reef: falling flat beats cutting your feet.
- Pack respect: a quick salamat (thank you) goes a long way.
Bonus: Flat-Day Plan
No swell on the forecast? We turn skate ramps, balance trainers, and tidal pool adventures into a landlocked surf clinic. Drop by and we will keep the stoke rolling until the next swell hits.
