Siargao, Philippines

Siargao centres on the Cloud 9 reef break, the Magpupungko rock pools at low tide, the Sohoton lagoon's stingless jellyfish, and the offshore Naked, Daku, and Guyam islands accessible by outrigger boat.

Highlights

When to Visit

Sep-Nov

Cloud 9 surf at peak with the Siargao International Surfing Cup typically late September, sea visibility at year-best, and the Magpupungko rock pools reliably calm.

Mar-May

Hot dry season with Magpupungko at peak low-tide visibility, Sohoton lagoon swimming pleasant, and the surf scene quieter with smaller swells.

Jun-Aug

Surf swells building toward peak, but typhoon risk peaks August, and the rainy-season rates drop across General Luna's beachfront accommodation.

Dec-Feb

Cool dry season with Christmas through New Year at peak resort demand, surf still active at Cloud 9, and island-hopping at year-clearest visibility.
