Atmosphere
Siargao may be the most famous surfing area in the Phillipines, but get away from cloud nine and Siargao island has heaps of breaks for all skill levels and all swell and wind conditions. Daku is not the place for huge swells, but in small to moderate swells it can hold perfect, glossy waves in a beautiful setting with no crowds at all. The locals are friendly if somewhat mystified by surfers outside of GL. Lodging is cheap and plentiful, diddo for food. This is a truly special place, tread lightly and have a good time.
General
Smallish but often perfect waves, with no crowds and a phenomenally laid back onshore life.

Good times - Surfed Daku about a year ago in January. Had some fun sessions. It never got epic but I guess I need to come in November. Thanks Nicholas for the boat trips, and the nice 5 hour trip through a typhoon.
