YouTubeWatch on YouTube CustomizeCustomize this spot

Jacking Horse is Siargao's answer for surfers who want quality Pacific reef waves without the pressure of Cloud 9. Named for its playful, bucking sections, this right-hander breaks just down the coast and offers a more forgiving experience while still delivering legitimate barrel opportunities. The wave wedges up nicely off the reef, providing punchier sections perfect for progressive surfing. When Cloud 9 is maxing out or the lineup is too crowded, Jacking Horse becomes the locals' sanctuary—a reminder that Siargao's wave wealth extends well beyond its most famous break.
