Welcome to Siargao Island!
SIARGAO is a tear-drop shaped island situated 800 kilometers southeast of Manila in the province of Surigao del Norte. It has a land mass of approximately 437 kilometers. The Island's Pacific-facing reefs are situated on the edge of the Philippine Trench, and the extremely deep offshore waters assure the ocean swells have undiluted power when they encounter the many coral and rock reefs, giving Siargao excellent surfing conditions, particularly during the southwest "habagat" monsoon from August to November, when the prevailing wind is offshore. The best known surfing wave on Siargao with a worldwide reputation for thick, hollow tubes is "Cloud 9". It is the Surfing Capital of the Philippines! <more..>
