50% of September days clear 12 kt for three daylight hours or more.

September sits outside the best months here. This report carries the record for September as it is, and no direction or session norm, because there is none to quote. Section 02 shows the year-by-year spread; section 06 shows which months to come instead.

Per-launch notes

Bulabog Beach
Low—Mid—High—

Stay out within an hour and a half either side of low tide. Narrow beach at high tide. Hours per tide state unknown until tide data arrives.

Tide data not yet available for this spot. The record holds wind, air and waves, not tide. Until a tide source is connected, the tables above stay empty rather than estimated. What the guide says about tide is on the next page, in words.

Sources, and their limits

Where each section of this report comes from. Record is measured. Modelled is computed by a formula because no measurement exists yet; it looks like data and is not. Written is WindChaser's editorial copy, compiled from the sources below.

§WhatSourceLimit

The record

Hourly wind, 2017 to 2026, from ECMWF IFS HRES via Open-Meteo: a 9 km grid, read at the cell 2.8 km from the spot. It knows the wind over the cell, not the gust on the sand in front of you, and it knows the bearing, not the coastline: "side-onshore" is a rider's reading of the bearing. Each month is counted over nine to ten years.

What we could not source for Bulabog, Boracay

Crowds by month: no count exists for Bulabog yet. A water quality classification, and a first-hand reading of the local vibe. Tide tables and per-launch tide windows. The island’s entry rules and fees read first hand. A station check on a 9 km wind record. A surveyed launch. A measured water temperature. A licensed photograph. A windsurf school or launch.

Conditions change. Check local rules and conditions before you ride.
