Frequently Asked Questions
Where is the Cloud 9 surf break?
Cloud 9 breaks off the east coast of Siargao island, in Surigao del Norte in the southern Philippines, just north of General Luna, the island's main surf town. A wooden boardwalk with a viewing tower runs out over the reef to the take-off, so it is one of the few world-class waves you can watch from a few metres away.
When is the best season to surf Cloud 9?
Roughly August to November, when typhoon swells from the Pacific reach Siargao and the winds are often lightest; the Siargao International Surfing Cup is usually held at Cloud 9 in September or October. Outside that window the island still gets waves, but Cloud 9 is less consistent.
Is Cloud 9 good for beginners?
No. Cloud 9 is a thick, hollow right-hand barrel over shallow reef and suits experienced surfers. Beginners on Siargao learn on the softer reefs and beach breaks around General Luna, often with one of the many local surf schools.
