Pilar is a surf spot located about 7 miles from General Luna. It's not as crowded as the more popular areas nearby. This place is good for catching some time on the water, especially during the northeast trade winds. While it takes a bit of a journey to get there—whether by boat or car—you might find that it offers a more laid-back vibe for surfers looking to escape the busyness of the General Luna region.
The waves at Pilar usually break over uneven reefs and are best for intermediate surfers. The optimal swell direction is from the east, but it can handle swells coming from the north and east as well. It works well when the swell size is around 3 feet (approximately 0.9 meters). The ideal winds come from the west, and it’s surfable during low, mid, and high tides. Most of the waves break to the left, making it a solid choice if you prefer left-handers.
If you’re looking to explore beyond the surf, you can hop on a boat to check out the nearby coral reefs and rocky outcrops. Popular spots include Salvation, Philippine Deep, and Shifties, which can add some adventure to your trip when you're not riding the waves.
