kitesurf spot

Siargao Island Cemetery is one of the most unique kitesurfing spots in the Philippines, located on the western shore of Siargao Island in the Caraga region. Named after the small cemetery that sits adjacent to the beach, this spot has become a favorite among kiters exploring Siargao's incredible coastline. The spot offers a stunning tropical setting with coconut palms lining the shore and crystal-clear turquoise waters stretching to the horizon.

During the Amihan season (November to May), consistent northeast monsoon winds sweep across Siargao, delivering reliable 15-25 knot conditions. The Cemetery spot benefits from its western orientation, which provides cross-shore to cross-onshore winds during Amihan, creating excellent conditions for all riding styles. The warm tropical waters (28-30°C) mean you can ride in boardshorts year-round.

The riding area features a beautiful sandy bottom with areas of seagrass, and the water stays relatively shallow for a good distance from shore, making it accessible for intermediate riders. More advanced kiters will appreciate the small waves that roll in, perfect for strapless wave riding. The flat water sections closer to shore are excellent for freestyle and practice sessions. The surrounding islands create natural wind funnels that can boost wind strength.

Siargao is increasingly popular with kitesurfers who come for the combination of world-class conditions and laid-back island vibes. The Cemetery spot is within easy reach of General Luna, the island's main tourist hub, where you'll find accommodation, restaurants, and kite schools. Tide awareness is essential as the shallow areas can become very shallow at low tide, and currents can be present between the islands.
