Tago is a surf spot located at the Tago rivermouth, just about a 5-minute tricycle ride from Tandag. It offers a less crowded alternative to other nearby spots, making it a nice getaway for surfers looking for some space. While not always a top-tier location, it has its moments, especially when the conditions line up just right.
The best time to surf at Tago is when there’s a north to northeast swell. This spot can handle swell sizes from 2ft (about 0.6 meters). You'll find both left and right waves here. The waves break over a sandy bottom, which can be nice for those looking to avoid rocks. For the best experience, aim for low to mid to high tides and check for a southwest wind, which makes the waves more fun to ride. Keep in mind that this spot is more suited for intermediate surfers looking to improve their skills.
When the typhoon swells show up, Tago can really come to life, offering some nice long walled-up lefts and heavier, hollower rights. So, if you’re in the area and the conditions look good, it’s definitely worth checking out for a few waves.
