I'm planning a trip in December and would like to know if there are any surfing spots close to Manila. I live in Pacifica, CA, close to a crowded beginner's surf beach. I just learned to surf a month and a half ago, and have been paddling out an average of 2 times a week.  I've seen posts about the Zambales surfing scene. Is that the closest surf spot to Manila? How's the surf in December? My schedule there is pretty hectic, so I'm looking for someplace where I can possibly take a short weekday trip. I also need someplace where I can rent a board (I currently use an 8' 2" mini longboard).

Thanks for the info!

good to hear you're on the right place right now. swell are consistent there now and hope you visit lanuza and a spot in dinagat island they are also in surigao.yeah sure i could meet you up in manila for a couple of beers perhaps.when are you leaving the country maybe you want to sell one of your board.keep charging brah....

How are the waves at Crystal Beach right now? I'll be arriving in Manila in 2 weeks and hope to get some surfing while there.

TOM! I guess the lake don't have surf today. I hope one of these days our path will cross. and I hope you'll have the guts to open your mouth like the way you type in the forum.
