About Boulevard
Facing, offshore wind, exposure, level and swell range are estimated.
The spot faces E (79°), so it takes swell from the E. The wind blows offshore from the W (259°). It is exposed to the open swell. It suits intermediate surfers and up. It works in 3–12 ft of swell. The sea floor shelves very gently: 10 m deep about 1.6 km out (1 in 161). On a typical 5 ft, 11 s swell the waves here would spill softly. The sea is about 28°C in January, its coldest month (no wetsuit), and 30°C in May, its warmest (no wetsuit). For intermediate surfers the best month is usually October, with about 2 good days in 7. From the weather of past years. The town to stay in is Borongan, 0.7 km away (about 5 min by car).
Water about 29°C: no wetsuit. Typical sea temperature for the time of year, not a forecast.
