Cloud 9 Surf Spot

Cloud 9 – one of the most well-known waves world wide and one of the best in the Philippines, is a perfect barreling right hand reef break that can be both fun and challenging. Although it is a relatively short wave, the fact that it barrels nearly the whole way guarantees satisfaction.

It breaks on very shallow reef and is not a beginner wave and recommended for advanced surfers only, but in walking distance to Cloud 9 you will find a beginner spot with guides on request.

Cloud Nine is best at mid to high tide. At low tide it is extremely shallow and a high risk of getting hurt or breaking your board. At low tide the biggest part of the reef is dry, surrounding the famous boardwalk and tower, from which you can watch the surfers getting one barrel after another in the right conditions.

• Tip: Walk around 50m to the left or right of the main entrance to avoid the new ridiculous ‘entrance fee’ for the beach
• Wave Direction: Right (if you want to get barreled)
• Bottom: Shallow but flat reef
• Level: Advanced and Pro Surfers at the peak
• Peaks: One
• One of the best barrels on the planet and probably the easiest accessible
• Avoid surfing at low tide
