Writer from California; Siargao Island is paradise for sure however be aware there are some drawbacks even in paradise. First bring your own surfboard because there is a limited supply of quality boards for rent. Second, bring plenty of mosquito repellent and lotion to sooth the itch.
Not to worry about accommodations, but for sure make them ahead of time. Rooms range from primitive for a few dollars a day to first class for over a hundred dollars a day. Travel is easy from Cebu.
A couple of other hints is that electronic money isn’t readily available nor is a hospital. If you have a serious injury expect to travel a distance for proper care. The food is excellent, the people are friendly and the island is…paradise. Enjoy!

Hi Casey,

Sorry about that. They used to have a link I think regarding wind conditions. No idea though what would be the average wind speed in Siargao around November although traditionally the waves are bigger around that period because of the storms moving somewhere in the Western Pacific. Try this website. http://www.windfinder.com/ and http://www.fnmoc.navy.mil/wxmap_cgi/index.html.

PAG-ASA also has a predicted mean sea-level wind forecast at http://www.pagasa.dost.gov.ph/wb/wxfcst.html.

Hope that helps!

Hi Guys,

I am wondering if someone could fill me in on a great place to stay, with reasonable prices, in Burgos, Siargao. We have a couple of kids and are wanting a place within walking distance to the beach on the surf side? I’ve, so far found two places, Marcos & Bohemian Bungalows. Marcos seems way too pricey and bohemian haven’t replied, so I am wondering if there are any alternatives for accommodation.

Thanks,
Dan
