Point B

Point B (Puraran, Catanduanes) is an exposed reef break known for relatively consistent surf and a right-hand peeling wave. Southwest winds are typically offshore, which helps groom the wave faces and improve cleanliness. The break is highly tide-dependent: high tide is repeatedly emphasized as the safest and best time window because it provides adequate water depth over the reef. Wave quality is generally described as good, with peeling, carving-friendly sections. Ride lengths are characterized as medium in typical conditions, with one dataset noting that the wave can occasionally produce longer sections and sometimes smaller barrel opportunities when conditions line up. Overall, the spot is described as more manageable than the region’s more famous right-hand option, but it still packs real power and is not suited to complete beginners. Safety is the main constraint. The reef and rocks create a sharp, unforgiving bottom, with shallow-water danger at low tide and hazards from submerged rocks/coral. Currents can be moderate to strong on bigger swells, including the possibility of rip currents in channels, and large swells are noted to increase both challenge and hazard risk. There are no lifeguards on site and no formal dedicated rescue service reported. Seasonally, offshore wind conditions are best in the September–November window, while the broader monsoon/swell context supports good riding around May–October and especially September. Typhoon season is a key planning factor (June–December, with most activity June–November), so conditions can become extreme and access/visibility may be affected during storm periods. For preparation, sources recommend mid-to-high tide only, reef-aware entry/launching, and booties/leash as appropriate.
