Roxas (Capiz)

Roxas (Capiz) Coast is centered on Baybay Beach, a very long grey-sand shoreline that tends to feel spacious for wind sports rather than crowded. The beach launch is described as easy due to the wide stretch of sand and the amount of room available for setting up. For kitesurfing, the best wind comes from NE/ENE, with peak reliability during the Amihan (northeast monsoon) season. Typical wind levels are commonly reported in the 12 to 25 knots range, with the most consistently good months listed as January, February, March, and also November and December. Conditions are generally described as choppy rather than glassy, which fits the “chop” water-type description. Water quality is reported as clean/good, though it can be influenced by river runoff after heavy rains (which is common for coastal areas near city inflows). For riders, key near-shore hazards include fishing nets and moored boats, so it’s important to scan the shoreline before launching or when moving close to the waterline—especially around the river mouth area where currents may differ at times. While kitesurfing is the primary focus, surfing is possible during certain setups: the beach-break wave character is described as mushy and soft, with short rides and generally poor wave quality overall. Wind can also make the surf messy during the best swell period (onshore conditions), and on larger swells, closeouts are reported as common. Overall, it’s a laid-back spot where sessions often pair well with the local seafood scene right along the beachfront.
