About This Spot
Boracay's western bay facing the Sibuyan Sea presents a protected water body suitable for learning kitesurfing. The bay is bounded by developed coastline to the west with forested headlands creating natural windbreaks. Water conditions are generally choppy with modest wave height (0.58m average), indicating consistent small swell but limited power. The spot features shallow turquoise waters near shore transitioning to deeper offshore zones. Multiple rocky outcrops and reef structures are visible, requiring careful navigation. This location suits beginner to early intermediate kiters seeking protected conditions with minimal wave face. However, extremely low wind reliability (4.2%) presents a significant constraint—sessions are infrequent. North winds (0°) provide side-shore conditions. The bay's enclosed nature limits fetch distance, restricting swell development. Boat traffic appears moderate to heavy, requiring situational awareness. Water temperature around 27.7°C is warm year-round. Best conditions occur during northeast monsoon season when wind reliability improves.
Hazards & Safety
Shallow water and coral formations visible near shore
Rocky outcrops and reef structures extending into water
High boat traffic in bay area
Residential development with potential for increased maritime activity
Limited fetch distance due to bay enclosure
Very low wind reliability (4.2%)
