It is during the rainy season that waves are usually bigger. It only means it is a great time to surf. Local of La Union, Camille Pilarbacked up this claim in her article in windowseat.ph, “The surf town of San Juan, La Union comes alive during the north swell season when the northeast tradewinds (locally known as the amihan winds) bring consistent swells to the coastline from October to April. The southwest monsoon, known as the habagat, will also yield waves during the months of July to September.” The most famous surf school in La Union offers surfing lessons, where you can learn basic board skills, paddling, riding the waves and by the end of the session, you can definitely stand up and surf on your own. – Text from:  http://www.jetsetterasia.com/go-travel/travel-hack/rainy-day-getaways/
