Stormrider Description

Cloud Nine is the most consistent wave, being a world class barrelling right and a shorter left. It's a real swell magnet on a small to moderate swell. It takes about an hour to walk from General Luna to Cloud Nine and on the way there are several other good spots.

Local Knowledge

The surf season normally kicks off in September and continues until around March. However, you can catch a decent wave at any time of the year. The biggest and best months for surfing are November and December. Cloud 9 Break: A barreling right hander that is the most well-known break but only one of the many surfing spots on Siargao Island. Next to Cloud 9 is Tuason Point, easily accessible. There is a pier and tower located on the shore looking out at the break which makes life easier for paddling/walking out to it. The reef isn’t as brutal as one may think, it’s more mossy reef with the odd rock. Booties aren’t a necessity, just go easy. Best at high tide, pretty dangerous to surf at low tide as it gets pretty shallow in places. The Cloud Nine break is by far the most famous wave on Siargao Island but by no means not the only one. There are many other quality waves on Siargao and nearby islands, but Cloud 9 has received more publicity than any other, indeed in the Philippines as a whole. It is one of only a few waves which is easily accessible without a boat, leading to overcrowding and the nickname of “Crowd 9″ among surfers.

This graph shows the percentage of days that had a ridable wind swell (7 seconds period or more) or groundswell (10 seconds period or more) of over 3ft. It also shows the dominant wind direction. Not all of these days will neccessarily give great surf, and very short lived wind swells or longer period secondary swells may produce surf not recorded, but it gives a clear idea of the seasonal trend and a rough guide to the chances of scoring something ridable.
