The pavilion
A right-hand reef off General Luna with a wooden pavilion people photograph more than they surf. Cloud 9 put Siargao on the map. Typhoon swell turns it into a thick, hollow wave over coral. The island got famous. The reef did not get softer.
When.
August to November
Typhoon swell, August to November.
Worth knowing.
- 1. The boardwalk is for watching. The paddle is from the beach next to it, over reef. Booties help.
- 2. August to November is typhoon swell. The rest of the year can be fun and smaller, or quiet.
- 3. If Cloud 9 is a zoo, there are other reefs around the island. Ask in General Luna, do not follow the drones.
Go.
Before you paddle.
