When most travelers think “rainy season” in the Philippines, they imagine grey skies, heavy storms, and canceled adventures. But here in Siargao, it’s a whole different story. At our surf camp and yoga retreat in Siargao rainy season, the so-called “off-season” might just be the perfect time to visit.
Let’s break the myths, embrace the magic, and show you why the rainy months are your golden ticket to a better, more meaningful island experience.
Wait… Isn’t It Always Raining?
Nope—not in Siargao. While much of the northern Philippines gets heavy rains, Siargao, nestled in the south, often enjoys bright skies, cool breezes, and just a sprinkle of tropical showers. Rain here is more like a passing visitor—refreshing, short-lived, and surprisingly calming.
🌿 Local tip: Most showers come at night or early morning, leaving your surf and yoga time sun-kissed and breezy.
