Quiksilver is a fast right over reef beside Cloud 9 in General Luna, Siargao. It is an advanced spot, reached with a paddle from the tower. Its position beside a well-known wave can make it easy to find, but the surfing demands experience.
The wave
Fat Lips describes Quiksilver as faster and more technically difficult than Cloud 9. The bottom is reef, and the speed is part of what makes this a demanding wave. Treat descriptions of it as a sandy beginner break with caution.
The main description is a right. One secondary source also mentions lefts, but that difference does not change the advanced rating used here.
Who it’s for
Quiksilver suits advanced surfers. For a first lesson in this area, Jacking Horse is a place to consider with a coach when conditions fit.
Since July 2025, beginner lessons have been prohibited at Cloud 9. Published reports do not extend that rule to Quiksilver. Wave difficulty is a separate reason to choose somewhere else for learning; our Cloud 9 beginner guide explains the rule.
Getting there
Walk to the Cloud 9 tower, then paddle left. There is no boat transfer to arrange for this route. Check the wave with a local coach before paddling out, especially if this is your first visit.
When it works
Quiksilver is mainly a swell-season option. Siargao’s main season runs from late September through November into early December. March to May can bring a smaller second season, with flat spells possible. Those island-wide patterns are a starting point for planning; the day’s conditions still decide the session.
Surfing Sirago
Lessons for experienced surfers can go to spots like Quiksilver on the right day. The coach chooses according to your level, tide and wind.
A two-hour lesson costs ₱1,200 with the board. Boat outings on good-wave days add ₱300 when a boat-access spot is chosen; see prices. Book by WhatsApp with Michael. The spot overview compares options around General Luna.
Is Quiksilver in Siargao good for beginners?
No. Quiksilver is an advanced reef wave, described by Fat Lips as faster and more technically difficult than Cloud 9. Jacking Horse is a nearby option for beginner lessons when conditions fit.
How do you get to Quiksilver surf spot?
Walk to the Cloud 9 tower in General Luna, then paddle left to Quiksilver. A boat is not required.
Does the Cloud 9 beginner rule cover Quiksilver?
The published July 2025 rule covers Cloud 9 only. That does not make Quiksilver suitable for beginners: its fast reef wave calls for advanced ability.
