FLAT
Live Conditions
Conditions Summary
Small 1.7ft surf — but short 4s period indicates wind swell, expect choppy conditions — but swell direction is marginal for this spot — 5mph onshore wind roughing up the surface — Note: this is outside the peak season for this spot
LOW CONFIDENCEModel-only forecast, no buoy nearby
Why it's FLAT
Swell Direction
Primary swell is 119° — wrong angle. This spot needs 45° swells to break properly.
Swell Period
4s — this is wind chop, not groundswell. Waves will be weak and disorganized.
Wind
5mph onshore — light but will soften wave shape
Season
June is off-season — rare for this spot to get quality waves

About
Siargao is a teardrop-shaped island in the Philippines with Cloud 9 at its center — a hollow, powerful right-hander that breaks over a shallow reef and hosts the annual Siargao Cloud 9 Surfing Cup. Beyond Cloud 9, the island offers a network of reef passes, uncrowded boat trips, and a laid-back tropical culture that makes it one of Asia's most beloved surf destinations.
The Break
Cloud 9 — hollow right-hander over shallow reef, the marquee wave of the Philippines.

02
Rent a motorbike to explore — the island is small and roads are manageable.

General Luna is the hub — great food, beach bars, and a genuinely fun surf town vibe.
05
