Field notes
Tropical (Eastern Mindanao) — meaningfully different rainfall pattern than the rest of the Philippines because Siargao sits on the Pacific-facing eastern coast. There's no real dry season — rainfall is well-distributed across the year with February–May the marginally drier window and October–December the wettest. Surf is best in the September–November swell window. Super Typhoon Rai (2021) caused major damage; rebuild is mostly complete.
