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.
