Catanduanes Island

This spot is located on Catanduanes Island's eastern coast, featuring a protected bay with dense inland forest meeting rocky shoreline. The coastline faces northeast toward open ocean, with a sheltered bay providing moderate wave exposure. The spot sits at the convergence of multiple river valleys visible in the satellite imagery, which create complex current patterns. Wind reliability is minimal at 2.0%, indicating this is a marginal location for consistent kitesurfing. Average wave height of 1.17m suggests small swell penetration into the bay. The rocky, cliff-backed coast with minimal sandy beach access makes launching and landing challenging. Best conditions occur during the dry season (December-May) when northeast to northwest winds provide side-shore conditions. The spot suits intermediate kiters comfortable with rock hazards and limited landing areas. Water temperature around 27.6°C is warm year-round. Primary consideration is the extremely low wind reliability and seasonal typhoon exposure that makes consistent session planning difficult.
