Cloud 9
Siargao, Philippines9.815° 126.165°
Levels 5-7Typical size: 3–12 ft
The wave that put the Philippines on the map. A thick, hollow right-hand reef break that throws a postcard barrel over sharp coral, with a shorter left peeling off the same peak. The wooden boardwalk and tower out to the lineup are a Siargao landmark. On a clean NE swell with offshore SW wind it's one of the best barrels in Southeast Asia.

Not a beginner wave. Below Level 5, watch from the boardwalk and surf Jacking Horse instead. The reef is shallow and unforgiving at low tide — booties on, and respect the pecking order in a busy lineup.
