Cloud 9 Surf Forecast and Surf Reports

(Philippines – Siargao Islands)

Surf-default-break-image
Name: Cloud 9
Type: reef
Reliability: fairly consistent
Best Swell: NE Offshore Wind: SW

Cloud 9 in Siargao Islands is an exposed reef break that has quite reliable surf. Autumn and winter are the optimum times of year for waves. The best wind direction is from the southwest. Windswells are much more common than groundswells and the best wave direction is from the northeast. There are left and right breaking reefs. Best around high tide when the tide is rising. Even when there are waves, it's not likley to be crowded. Surfing here means negotiating dangerous rips.

Visitor Reviews of Cloud 9


Cloudninesurf.com from PHILIPPINES writes:

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.
