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

Hi Nikolas,

I spoke with some of the people from Surigao today. 1300-1500 a day would be a good deal, A/C room, surf board rentals, meals. Please check with the tour agent if meals are included. If you are still unsure about the rates, and your gut feel tells you to not take it, please don’t – please check this website – http://www.surigaodelnorte.gov.ph, email- ppdosurigaonorte@yahoo.com; call (+6386)2319271. Surigao del Norte Tourism Office.

Cheers,

Ryan

Hi!
Thanks for the update info about the flight connections!

Since there’s a lot of Siargao experience here, it would be greatly appreciated if somebody could advice me on the weather and surfing conditions during the time period of late October till end of November? My perception is that there is little sunshine, lot of rain and clouds but the waves are excellent!! I’m going with my buddy from Finland and neither of us has never surfed so is this a good time and location to execute 4 weeks of rigourous training montage?

Other thing that I would love to get unbiased info is the right price of accommodation… I contacted patric’s on the beach and 101 and got offered figures like 9-10 000pesos/week for a package deal of 4 weeks, one ac room, breakfast and surfboard rental. Am I being robbed with those prices? I’m so suspicious, cause at least in Cebu, with a white face the price is always 50-100% higher then to a local =(

Paljon kiitoksia,

Nikolas
