Cuyo Island

Cuyo Island is a protected bay area in the Philippines with a northeast-facing coastline. The satellite imagery reveals shallow turquoise waters with visible sandbars and reef structures, particularly concentrated on the eastern perimeter. The bay configuration provides natural wind funneling and wave dampening, making this a sheltered spot suited for lighter wind conditions. Best conditions occur with northwest winds (315°), which provide side-shore orientation parallel to the main beach access. The spot's low wind reliability (29.1%) and modest average wave height (0.51m) indicate this is primarily a light-wind spot best suited for beginners and intermediate kiters seeking protected waters. The shallow bay environment with choppy conditions suggests variable thermal and diurnal wind patterns. Water temperature averages 28.1°C, providing comfortable conditions year-round. Kiters should exercise caution around visible reef and shallow areas, particularly on the eastern section. Best sessions typically occur during seasonal wind peaks rather than consistent daily conditions.
