Pacifico Surf Guide
Pacifico is a long, and occasionally hollow left reef, a rarity on this island of rights. The wave is quite a long way from the beach, outside a seaweed-filled lagoon. There's a takeoff section on the outside, and then a series of sections to make a long and fast left. It also takes a northerly angled swell well, as most of the other spots on Siargao like a more easterly angled swell. Pacifico is not so far from the Cloud 9 area on the map, but the route is such that it takes two hours or so to drive to the spot. Once there, park on the side of the road and paddle out.
