Peak Season(Dec–Apr)
Shoulder Season(May & Nov)
Low / Typhoon Season(Jun–Oct)

Month-by-Month Calendar

Peak Season

November–May

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.

Pros

  • Perfect sunny weather
  • Calm White Beach waters
  • All activities available
  • Best visibility for snorkeling/diving
  • Peak beach conditions

Cons

  • Highest prices
  • Very crowded beaches (especially Dec–Apr)
  • Book hotels far in advance
  • Christmas/Easter: extreme crowds

Shoulder Season

May & November

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.

Tip: November is arguably the best month — summer crowds are gone, but weather is already improving. Expect 20–40% lower hotel prices than peak season.

Typhoon Season

June–October

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.

If you must visit: June and October are the mildest low-season months. July–September carry the highest typhoon risk. Always check weather forecasts and have flexible travel plans.
