About This Spot
Virgin Island is a small lagoon-style kitesurfing spot located in the Philippines featuring a crescent-shaped sandbar formation with shallow turquoise waters. The spot's distinctive curved geography creates a protected basin bordered by mangrove areas and rocky formations. Water depths are minimal across most of the lagoon, making it suitable for learning and progression but limiting wave development. The current weather data indicates extremely low wind reliability (1.4%) and minimal average wind speeds (4.8 knots), making this spot inconsistent for regular kitesurfing sessions. When conditions align, side-shore winds from the southeast or southwest would be ideal. The flat water conditions and shallow depths make this location appropriate for beginners and early intermediate riders focusing on freestyle and light wind technique development. Key considerations include monitoring tidal changes that affect water depth, avoiding rocky areas on the perimeter, and planning sessions during peak wind windows. The protected nature of the lagoon limits exposure but also restricts consistent wind access.
