Urbiztondo Beach - surf spot statistics

Urbiztondo Beach in the Philippines is primarily windswell-driven, with ground swells playing a minimal role throughout the year. The best months for surfing are typically from November to February, when swell consistency and size are at their peak. December stands out with the largest mean swell size (1.1m) and the highest probability of surfable conditions (87% combined swell occurrence, with 83% windswell and 4% groundswell). Wind conditions are most favorable during this period, especially in November and December, where good wind conditions occur 45% and 48% of the time, respectively. January follows closely with a 1.0m swell and 43% good wind probability, though wind conditions worsen slightly compared to late-year months. From March to May, surfable swells drop significantly, with March seeing only 53% windswell and April-May falling below 40%, making these months inconsistent for surfing. Swell size also diminishes (0.5-0.6m), and wind conditions deteriorate, with bad winds exceeding 80% in these months. June to October marks a gradual return of windswell, peaking in August (74% windswell, 0.9m), but wind conditions remain poor, limiting optimal surf days. For advanced surfers, late-year months (October-December) offer the best balance of size and wind conditions, while mid-year is largely marginal due to weak swells and onshore winds. Overall, Urbiztondo is most reliable from November to January, with December being the prime month for consistent, rideable waves and cleaner winds.

July at Urbiztondo Beach offers generally small but rideable waves, averaging 0.8m with a 6.8s period, making them softer and less powerful—ideal for longboarding or beginners. The swell is predominantly from the WSW (54% of waves between 0.5–2.5m), providing decent consistency, though larger sets (1.5m+) are rare (6%). Cross-shore winds (SSE to SSW) prevail, but only 27% of wind conditions are ideal (light offshore or sideshore), often blowing 10–20kph from the SSE (12% frequency). Expect choppy conditions when winds strengthen from the south, but mornings may see cleaner waves. Larger swells (2m+) are infrequent (2%), so advanced surfers may find it lacking punch. Overall, it's a mellow month best suited for relaxed surfing.
