Lake Caliraya

Lake Caliraya is a freshwater lake located in the Philippines with complex island geography and shallow water zones. The northern shore faces the open water with numerous islands scattered throughout, creating a sheltered lake environment. The spot features residential development along the southern shoreline with agricultural clearings interspersed with dense forest coverage. Best wind direction would be easterly (side-shore), though wind reliability is exceptionally poor at 0.4% with average winds of only 5.4 knots—well below the minimum 10-12 knots typically required for kitesurfing. The fragmented island system creates variable wind patterns and limits effective fetch distance. Water conditions appear relatively calm with low wave generation potential. The confined geography and shallow areas present navigation challenges. This location is marginal for kitesurfing due to insufficient and unreliable wind, making it more suitable for flat-water activities. Any kitesurfing attempts would require exceptional wind days and careful navigation around islands and shallow zones.
