Seasons & best time to go

Peak Season (September – October)

The prime time when the legendary “Majestic” wave lives up to its name, delivering powerful, hollow right-hand barrels and consistent swells for advanced surfers and pros.

Amihan / Monsoon Season (November – March)

Driven by the Northeast Monsoon, this period brings massive, raw ocean swells and cooler air, ideal for experienced surfers who love heavy open-ocean power, alongside crisp glassy mornings.

Summer Season (April – June)

Winds die down and the ocean calms, creating smaller, more manageable waves and crystal-clear waters that make it the best time for beginners and longboarders.
