Ilocos Norte, Philippines · 18.6329, 120.7995
Best wind
Cross-shore; about 20 knots reported as typical in February
Season
October through March; February described as the most consistent month
Water
Warm open-coast wave water in front of the resort plus a nearby flat-water lagoon
Experience
Intermediate-to-advanced for reef, wave, tow and downwind use; learner use only in the lagoon with current local supervision
Hazards
Remote resort setting, reef breaks, boat dependence for towing and incomplete depth, current, downwind-landing and rescue detail. The forum does not publish a surveyed reef line.
Parking & access
The forum links the resort directly and says it can arrange ground transport from Laoag. Confirm current guest/day access, launch permission, boat support and any downwind pickup; bring core foil gear because local equipment is limited.
“Progression Project forum first-hand travel guidance identifies the water directly off Kingfisher Resort near Pagudpud as a wave-wing venue with consistent cross-shore wind. The contributor also reports highway-supported downwind potential, boat-supported towing, several reef-break prone options and a nearby flat-water lagoon.”
