Month-by-month guide to Boracay's weather and seasons
This is the absolute best time to visit. Clear blue skies, calm seas, and perfect beach weather. The Amihan (northeast monsoon) brings consistent, refreshing winds — perfect for kitesurfing at Bulabog Beach.
The sweet spot for value travelers. Generally good weather with occasional showers, fewer crowds, and better hotel deals. May can be hot but still enjoyable. November marks the return of good weather.
The Habagat (southwest monsoon) brings rough seas to White Beach. Some activities are suspended. However, Bulabog Beach on the eastern side remains calmer. This is when budgets can be very low.
