About this spot
Bagasbas Beach, a few kilometres from Daet in Camarines Norte, faces the open Pacific on Luzon's east coast. It is primarily a surf beach — a long, grey-sand beach break — but it has hosted national kitesurfing events and has a small local kite scene that works the same north-east Amihan that powers the rest of the country.
When the Amihan blows from November to April, the wind here comes in side-onshore to onshore at 15-25 knots, and the riding is wave-oriented: beach-break surf on a sandy bottom, with the cleaner faces on the smaller days. This is not a flat-water learning spot — the shorebreak and current ask for confident upwind riding — but for intermediates who want waves without a reef, it is one of the more accessible wave beaches in the country.
Infrastructure is thin: a handful of local operators and surf camps, no large kite school on the scale of Boracay, and rescue is self-arranged. Daet is about eight hours by road from Manila. As with the rest of the country, the south-west Habagat season turns the wind offshore and the spot off. Confirm the current operator situation before travelling — the scene is small and changes season to season.

Needs local verification: Compiled in October 2026 from the schools' own pages and independent spot databases (Kite Insider, Kiteguide, Kitesurf The World, KTA event reports). Kite riding in the Philippines is largely unregulated outside Boracay's municipal rules, so exact launch pins, seasonal beach-space changes and resort access all need confirming on site, and the coordinates below are approximate rather than verified launch points. No verified live webcam exists for these spots, so the camera links open Windy's webcam search instead of a confirmed local feed.
Local hazards
- Shorebreak and beach-break surf — not a learning beach
- Rip currents on bigger days
- Thin kite infrastructure — rescue is self-arranged
- The SW Habagat wind is offshore — a no-ride direction
