Rock Island

9° 47.5′ N · 126° 10.2′ E · approximate

A long, hollow, powerful right on rocky reef off General Luna, reached only by boat and rated one of the best waves in the area.

Practical

Approx: Wannasurf pin (9 47.507'N 126 10.231'E, flagged 'approximate'). Starts at 1-1.5 m, holds 3 m+; NE swell; rides 150-300 m, up to 300-500 m on a good day (Wannasurf). Experienced surfers only; often empty. Boat only - hire one at the Cloud 9 surf camps or from the Catangnan boat point (OSM node 5936068986). Hazards: rips/undertow and rocks. Reviewers mention clear aquamarine water and a small beach at low tide. A yacht should not approach the outer reef here; go by local banca.
