Create Profile →Current conditions refresh every 3 hours when the cron runs. Hourly data updates every 30 minutes. The 7-day forecast, luck factor, and packing notes are all pre-computed at the same time.
We compare the 7-day forecast to the last 5 years of marine data for the same week at Boracay. The delta tells you whether conditions are shaping up better, worse, or about the same as a typical early July.
We score each day of the 7-day forecast using the same algorithm as the leaderboard, and highlight the highest scorer.
Open-Meteo's Marine API (swell height, period, water temperature) and Weather API (wind and conditions).
Honestly, no. Every break has tide windows, swell directions and reef contours that a global model cannot see. Treat the score as a starting point, then check a local cam.
The best week for surf at Boracay is the week of 30 November (score 3/5) with low crowds.
Barely any swell. Not much to work with today. Short-period wind swell: expect weak, crumbly faces. Gentle onshore putting some texture on the faces.
Heads up: thunderstorms forecast, and jellyfish: peak season.
Indicators derived from forecast data, not official warnings. Always check local lifeguard or official advice.
The air here is 83% cleaner than the average comparison city right now.
Significantly cleaner air than a typical city. Ideal for outdoor exercise with minimal respiratory strain.
Not a pollutant. Ozone is naturally higher at altitude and near the coast, and lower in cities where traffic exhaust breaks it down. High readings here typically indicate clean air. Can cause short-term airway irritation during intense exercise but is not linked to the long-term health risks of particulate pollution.
Additive health score: each pollutant contributes points relative to its WHO 2021 guideline and long-term health impact (PM2.5 9, NO₂ 5, O₃ 3, PM10 2, SO₂ 1 at WHO limits). Data via Open-Meteo. City markers show live readings. Red line marks the WHO guideline. Updated 21:00
Good water clarity: ~13m visibility

Boracay's Bulabog Beach faces east and is primarily a kitesurfing venue during the Amihan (NE monsoon, November-April). During the Habagat (SW monsoon, June-October), the west-facing White Beach occasionally gets small waves but conditions are unreliable. Bulabog can produce small rideable waves from passing typhoon swells. Not a dedicated surf destination.
Typhoon swell from the Pacific (July-November) occasionally produces rideable surf on the east coast. The Habagat season brings onshore conditions to White Beach with small wind swell. Conditions are inconsistent. Do not visit solely for surfing.
Bulabog Beach during typhoon swell. Small reef-influenced peaks can form along the coral-bottomed shallows. No defined surf lineup.
Shallow coral reef on the east coast. Kitesurfers dominate Bulabog. Boats and water craft on both beaches. Jellyfish seasonally.
Island accessible by boat from Caticlan. Tricycle and motorbike transport on the island. Full resort facilities.
Non-existent for surfing. Kitesurfers in abundance.
Boracay is a party island and beach destination, not a surf trip. If you want Philippine surf, head to Siargao (Cloud 9) or La Union on Luzon's west coast. Boracay's appeal is nightlife, white sand, and water sports. Enjoy it for what it is.

View Best Time to Go →Combining historical conditions with school holiday crowd pressure to find the sweet spot.
The timing score combines two signals: historical conditions quality (how good the skiing or surfing typically is in a given week, based on 5 years of weather data) and crowd pressure (how many of this destination's feeder markets have school holidays that week).
Crowd pressure is weighted by each feeder country's share of visitors. If 40% of a resort's visitors come from France and France is on holiday, that contributes 0.40 to the crowd pressure score. Crowds can reduce the timing score by up to 35%, ensuring conditions still matter most.
Scores: 5 = great conditions with low crowds (the sweet spot). 4 = great conditions with moderate crowds, or good conditions with low crowds. 3 = average. 2 = below average conditions or very crowded. 1 = poor conditions or peak holiday chaos.
