Gab Gab Beach
Edit SpotAbout
Go for it you'll LOVE it.
The best time to surf Gab Gab beach is from December to April!
Atmosphere:
A very fun and easy wave to drop into... look out for
fire coral, the reef is loaded with it. I surfed it for many years....great wave.
Additional Info:
This is a below sea level wave... Wave sucks out,
looks at first to be 2 ft... jacks up to 4 and peels
left. Fun wave somedays its down the line, then other days it has a little bowl section at the end of the wave but watch out for the coral heads.
It breaks best when there is a typhoon to the west/ northwest, near or on the way to the Phillippines, as the swell can come in through the harbor opening. If that swell is not available, there are NO waves.
