Chelseas Point (Botolan Coast)

Chelseas Point (Botolan Coast) is a warm-water, sand-bar oriented break that’s described as highly consistent and typically uncrowded even on weekends. For surfers, it features both left and right waves and is known for a good, fun feel rather than being overly powerful. Rides are commonly reported in the roughly 50–150 meter range on good days, with the wave holding up well on the sandbars before closing out on larger sets. For kiteboarding, the spot is presented as a good small-wave freeride/wave location that can help riders progress. Wind is most favorable in the dry-season months (noted around November through April and also January–April in some listings), with typical strengths described in the low-to-mid teens up to the mid-20s knots. Afternoon sea-breeze support is often cited as helping reinforce the prevailing northwest-oriented wind regime, with the strongest thermal influence frequently occurring between about 1:00 PM and 4:00 PM. Wingfoiling is also described as viable thanks to the sandy bottom and swell consistency, with an emphasis on using a mast length appropriate for the sand-bar depths. Minimum depth guidance given for the wingfoil window is approximately 1.5 meters past the shore break, and typical wing sizes are reported around 4–6 m. Safety-wise, local notes emphasize submerged rocks near the shore and the possibility of rip currents during larger swells. The best access is described as through the local resort path, with arrival by car (drive to the Km 189 signpost on the Subic to Iba road, then turn toward the West Coast Beach Resort).
