Direction: Left

Level: Intermediate – Advanced

Best wind: South West

Best swell size: 3 – 8 ft

Best swell direction: North East

Best tide:   Hide tide.

Intermediate to experts can find their place in the line-up and practice going left. During the summer months Tuason is very small but the wind is good so it is one of the few spots working and it suitable for beginners.

Crowd factor: Medium. Not as busy as it’s neighbor, Cloud 9, around the corner. During the summer when it’s small it can get quite crowded though. During bigger swells in peak season only the bravest will dare go out. During a head high swell the crowd is ‘medium’.

Kind of wave: Tuason can be heavy, barreling perfection during the peak season. One of Siargao’s scariest and most technical waves.  What Cloud 9 is to rights, Tuason is to lefts.  Great news for the goofy-footed surfer looking to score some heavy surf!  However, let’s remember that we are talking about ‘ideal’ conditions and ideal conditions are not usual conditions… Under normal conditions,
