Mona Liza Point is a surf spot located in NW Luzon that offers a unique experience. This area has a vibe similar to Malibu, providing a picturesque setting for surfers. It faces the resort of the same name, attracting both locals and visitors. The spot can get quite busy, especially on weekends, with surfers from Manila making the trip to ride the waves. While it can be enjoyable, be ready to share the water with other surfers around you.
The break at Mona Liza Point favors rights but will also let lefts break gently over a dead coral shelf. It handles swell sizes starting at about 1 ft (0.3 m) and can hold up to over 6 ft (2 m). The optimal swell direction is from the Northwest, but it can also handle some Northeast swells. It's best when the winds are coming from the Southeast. For the most consistent and enjoyable sessions, low, mid, and high tides work well here, making it a versatile spot for different levels of surfers, including beginners when the conditions are smaller.
The different sections of the point can break at various tides, providing some variety in your sessions. Keep in mind that longboards tend to rule here, so if that’s your style, you’ll fit right in. Just be prepared for the crowd, especially on weekends when the spot really fills up.
