Why Riders Love It
The weather in the Philippines has two principal seasons named after the particular winds known as Amihan and Habagat. For the windsurfers and kite surfers it is the Amihan season which brings them year after year back to Cuyo Island. The Amihan season lasts from late October to March and is characterized by moderate temperature, rarely any rainfall, and almost daily wind from the Northeast. This is in contrast to the hot Habagat season with frequent rainfall that lasts about from April to September. During this time the wind blows very moderate from the west with less chances to go surfing. Winds in Cuyo are stronger than on Boracay and Palawan.
When to Go
Best months: January, February, March, April, November, December.
What to Expect
Flat water in all tides behind the sandbar with northerly wind. Just north of the sandbar is a big bay with shallow water and sand. Perfect for learning. Best tide there is middle to low tide, with high tide it gets quiet choppy.
