Windsurfing around Manila

Manila itself does not have windsurfing spots, but the windsurfer itching for some action needs only to drive 2 to 3 hours away. The four top windsurfing spots around Manila are Lake Caliraya in Laguna, Anilao Beach in Batangas, Taal Lake in Tagaytay, and Subic Bay in Zambales. The northeasterlies (amihan) blow from November to March in the Philippines and bring winds of 10 to 20 knots to Lake Caliraya and Taal Lake. Anilao Beach and Subic Bay are windsurfing destinations during the habagat season from June to September, when the southwesterly winds blow. The windsurfing community in the Philippines is small and friendly, and interested parties can Google "Philippines windsurfing" to find point persons at the various windsurfing destinations.
