Coordinates from lets-kite spot listing. Works in NNE to E winds; season Nov–May, strongest Jan–Mar, typically 15–25 kn (12–30 kn per Wikivoyage); nearly unrideable in the habagat (about 2.5 rideable days in July). Lagoon 50 cm–2 m depending on tide; best mid to high tide, low tide too shallow; dead coral, rocks and urchins, wear booties. Very crowded in high season.

The Boracay International Funboard Cup windsurf event was traditionally held here in January.
