Siargao is a teardrop-shaped island in the Philippines' Surigao del Norte province and home to Cloud 9, a right-hand reef break that has hosted international surfing competitions since 1999. The camp is positioned in General Luna, the island's surf hub, within a five-minute walk of the Cloud 9 boardwalk.
Coaching is split by level: beginners work the sandy-bottomed beach breaks at Jacking Horse and Stimpy's — both within five minutes of camp — while intermediate and advanced guests target Cloud 9 itself and the collection of reefs that spread north and south of the main break. Guides monitor swell and wind forecasts each morning and select the optimum spot for each group.
Between sessions, Siargao offers a pace of life that few surf destinations match. Lagoon swimming, island-hopping to Guyam and Naked Islands, and the island's laid-back restaurant and café scene fill rest days with ease. The best swell window runs September through November when typhoon groundswells light up Cloud 9 at its most powerful.
