Boulevard - surf spot statistics

Boulevard in the Philippines is a surf spot heavily influenced by wind swells, with ground swells playing a secondary role. The best months for surfers are generally from August to October, when ground swell contributions peak (22-32%) and wind conditions improve significantly. During these months, offshore winds (good wind conditions) occur 27-38% of the time, though onshore winds (bad conditions) still dominate (62-73%). Swell size averages around 0.5-0.9m, making it ideal for intermediate surfers. The worst months are January to April, when ground swells are low (9-17%) and bad wind conditions prevail (95-98%), with slightly larger but messy swells (1.0-1.6m). May to July sees a gradual improvement in wind conditions (10-27% good winds) but smaller, less consistent swells (0.5-0.7m). November and December mark a transition back to unfavorable winds (89-94% bad conditions) despite decent ground swell presence (20-21%). Overall, late summer and early autumn (August-October) offer the most balanced conditions, while winter and early spring are challenging due to strong onshore winds and inconsistent swell quality.

August at Boulevard typically offers small to moderate surf conditions with an average swell height of 0.5m and a decent period of 9.4s, ensuring relatively clean and organized waves. The most dominant swell directions are ENE and E, contributing to 39.7% of waves in the 0.5-1.5m range—ideal for intermediate surfers. However, smaller 0-0.5m waves are frequent (around 50% of the time), making it better suited for longboarding or beginners on softer days. Wind conditions are favorable for surfing 37% of the time, with the strongest offshore influence coming from ENE to E, while SSW to WSW winds (often light to moderate) can create choppier conditions. Expect the best sessions when ENE swells combine with light easterly winds, offering clean, waist-high waves with occasional chest-high sets. Overall, August delivers rideable but inconsistent surf, requiring patience for the better swell windows.
