Tuason Point
Tuason Point is Siargao's premier left-hander—a wave that provides the perfect counterbalance to the right-hand dominance of Cloud 9 and its neighbors. When solid Pacific swells wrap into the island's eastern shores, Tuason comes alive with long, winding walls that offer both barrel sections and open faces for carving. The wave requires more size than the nearby rights, but when it's on, it rewards goofy-footers with the kind of frontside perfection that makes the trip to this remote Philippine island worthwhile.

Frequently Asked Questions
What kind of wave is Tuason Point?
Tuason Point is a reef break in Siargao, Philippines, that mostly breaks left.
What swell works best at Tuason Point?
Tuason Point picks up swell from the NE round to the E, and it's best when it's coming straight out of the ENE. It starts working at around 1m and handles up to about 3m, with the sweet spot around 1.9 to 2.5m. Period matters too: aim for 14s or longer, as anything under 10s tends to be weak. These are the numbers our scoring uses, so treat them as a guide rather than a promise.
What wind is offshore at Tuason Point?
A WNW wind is dead offshore at Tuason Point, and anything from the WSW round to the NNW keeps it clean. The morning is typically the best window, roughly 6am to 10am. Light winds from other directions can still be fine; strong offshores can make it hard to get into waves.
