La Union Surfing

La Union Surfing is centered around the area both south and north of San Fernando. Where you go will really be dependent on the time of the year you go.

The season which has two parts, quite unique for the Philippines, spans from July to October, waves are not nearly as consistent and from November to February, this is when the waves are bigger and more consistent due to the typhoon season providing bigger waves.

The surf is great for both novice and experienced riders alike and is never crowded, a good range of sites ensures this.

The Following are the Famous Surfing Spots in La Union:

Darigayos

This site is located out of the bay and would have to be the most consistent break around. You can always be guaranteed a right hander when all else is failing.

Poro Point
You can often see the waves breaking off the point onto the rocks, not the easiest to get to.

The Point
Nice easy waves off the Monaliza Resort, b far the most popular surfing spot in La Union. Produces both lefts and rights, so it keeps both naturals and goofy’s happy.

Urbitztondo Beach Break
The wave works both right and left with the left being the longer ride over a sand bottom.

Other spots
There are numerous other spots littered up and down the coast from San Fernando. Waves can be caught on the coast from Tabok, Bacnotan, Cabaroan and also south of San Fernando off the airport and depending on time of year right down to Bauang.
