Overview

Kitesurf

Zamboanguita Cockpit is a kitesurf spot on the southeast coast of Negros Oriental in the Central Visayas, Philippines. The area faces the Bohol Sea and catches NE Amihan monsoon winds from November to May. The name refers to a local landmark near the launch area.

NE monsoon winds of 12-18 knots provide the main kite season. The coast offers a mix of sandy and coral bottom. Be aware of reef sections. The area near Zamboanguita is quieter than the more touristic Dumaguete further north. Suitable for intermediate riders familiar with reef conditions.
