The wet season in Siargao is generally December – March.  Although we get a lot of wind and rain during this time we still get periods (sometimes weeks) of good weather.

For advanced surfers the most consistent months are mid September through to mid November, however we still have all levels of surfers during this time and can pick suitable spots according to conditions and ability. Mid November through to mid March is monsoon season and NE onshore winds are common, however you can still surf on the south side of the island during this time. April and May are good months with light winds and still some swell common. June – August tends to be small but very good weather with little or no wind. In summary it’s possible to surf year round in Siargao.
