Tulubhan Beach (Boracay Island)

Tulubhan Beach (Boracay Island) is a smaller, quieter kite area on the island’s windward side, known for clear water and a choppy ride. The beach launch is relatively narrow and can become restricted at higher tide levels, with moored boats commonly occupying part of the launch area. Wind reliability is strongest during the Amihan (winter monsoon) season, with best conditions typically from December through March. The wind direction is mainly NE (with E/ENE also noted), and sessions are commonly in the about 15–25 knots range. For kitesurfing, this tends to create cross-onshore/choppy conditions, making it a good option for intermediate riders looking for a calmer alternative when the main kite beach is too busy. Safety-wise, the key issues are hazards at/near the shoreline and in the reef patches: sea urchins and rocks, plus fishing and tour boats that may be anchored close to where you launch or start your run. Local guidance emphasizes staying well away from anchored boats and being mindful of traditional boats that park in the launch zone. Booties are strongly recommended for foot protection. Wingfoiling is possible but more tide-dependent: sources note that higher tides can help riders avoid shallow reef and rock patches near shore, and foil-friendly conditions are described as limited. Overall, the spot is best thought of as a secondary launch area on a predictable wind window—useful when conditions or crowd levels make other nearby launches less comfortable.
