Boulevard (Borongan Bay)

Boulevard (Borongan Bay) is a sheltered city-front beach break in Borongan known for inconsistent but generally beginner-accessible surf. It’s often described as a primary learning area when larger nearby breaks feel too challenging, with waves breaking over a sandy bottom. Surf works best with northeast swells and southwest winds, and the October window is repeatedly highlighted. Conditions are typically soft and gentle with mushy-to-mixed shapes; rides are often described as medium length, commonly in the tens of meters, with longer runs possible on more user-friendly sets. The spot is also noted for being sheltered, which helps keep conditions more approachable. Wind quality is closely tied to direction: southwest winds act offshore and tend to produce cleaner, groomed faces, while northeast winds are onshore and can make the break choppy. Even in the right swell/wind pattern, sources emphasize that surf can be variable (including small/inconsistent periods), and larger swells can turn the break messy and prone to closeouts (around or above 2 meters). For safety, watch for moderate shore break, and after heavy rain be alert for river debris (especially toward the northern end/river mouth). There can also be urban runoff and occasional fishing boat traffic near the shoreline. Formal lifeguard presence is not documented, but medical support is available locally within the city area.
