Siargao is a year-round tropical paradise, but knowing the island’s seasons can help you plan the best trip based on weather, surf conditions, and crowd levels.

Seasons in Siargao

Siargao experiences two main seasons:

• Amihan (October to Late March): This season brings frequent rain showers and northeast winds. While many parts of the Philippines experience dry weather during Amihan, Siargao’s location makes it wetter during this time.
• Habagat (May to October): Generally considered Siargao’s dry season, Habagat brings sunnier days and southwest winds—ideal for island hopping and beach activities.

Surfing in Siargao: When to Catch the Best Waves

Siargao is a world-class surfing destination with waves year-round, but conditions vary by season:

• September & October: Peak surf season with the biggest swells and ideal wind conditions for the island’s most famous surf spots.
• November to April: Popular surf breaks may have onshore winds, but there are hidden spots with offshore conditions and great waves.
• May to August: Smaller, clean, and glassy waves—perfect for longboarding and beginners.

When to Visit Based on Crowds

• Holy Week (March or April, varies yearly): One of the busiest times in Siargao. Hotels book out months in advance, so plan early.
• Off-Peak Months (June & July): Fewer tourists, making it a great time for a quieter, more laid-back experience.

No matter when you visit, Siargao’s stunning landscapes, vibrant culture, and incredible surf make it a must-visit destination year-round. Plan ahead to make the most of your trip!
