Moshi Moshi

Moshi Moshi earns its reputation as a rivermouth peak that delivers the most consistent surf in the area—a magnet for those seeking a break from the ordinary. The take-off zone is guarded by large rocks that demand respect, especially at low tide when the hazards are exposed, adding a technical edge to every wave. Expect a blend of longer, carving rights and shorter, punchier lefts that keep the ride dynamic. Optimal conditions arrive with a Northeast swell, with the spot waking up at 2 feet (0.6 meters) and building from there. The wave breaks over a boulder-strewn bottom, which can make for an unforgiving landing if you take a tumble. For the cleanest shape, look for a Southeast wind—anything offshore will groom the peaks nicely. Moshi Moshi performs across the tide range, from low to high, though the rocky bottom becomes most treacherous on the lower end. The crowd factor is real here, particularly when the swell is pumping, so timing your session around peak hours is key to dodging the pack. The spot caters to a range of skill levels, but newcomers should respect the shifting currents and the jagged seafloor. Keep local surf etiquette front of mind—this peak is shared, and a little patience goes a long way. Whether you’re hunting the longer rights or the snappier lefts, Moshi Moshi offers a consistently engaging, if demanding, experience.

Best Surf Season (November - March)

Moshi Moshi is a classic case of a spot teased by the Filipino swell window. Despite facing into the North Pacific, the data shows the annual swell machine is firmly locked into the eastern semicircle - ENE/NE trade wind swells dominate from November through March, with average heights running 3-4ft (0.9-1.3m) and periods hovering around 9-10s. These are punchy, rideable conditions, not open-ocean groundswells. The Amihan (northeast monsoon) strengthens throughout this period, and when the wind clock swings into the S/SSW/SW/WSW offshore quadrant, the surface cleans up enough to make the most of the inconsistent north-window energy. It is the closest the spot comes to a consistent surf season, though true N/NW groundswell is still a rare, precious commodity.
