The best months to surf the place is from August to the onset of November. This is because Siargao Island gets the most typhoon swells and best winds in this specific time, unlike during May and July, when it only has smaller waves.
Aside from having excellent surfing waves brought about by southwest monsoon and the currents and winds from the Pacific Ocean, the place boasts of its large mangrove forests in Mindanao.
