PHYSICAL ENVIRONMENT

TOPOGRAPHY

The range of mountains protecting Macajalar Bay rises to 2,560 meters above mean sea level and to the south by the Kitanglad mountains up to 2,900 meters high.

The Cagayan River flows down between the Kitanglad and Mapoto mountains in a steep sided valley, disgorging into the south side of Macajalar Bay through a wide alluvial plain. The headland to the east of the river mouth, Macabalan Point, protects the smaller inner bay. Cagayan de Oro City is established on the east bank of the river about 3 kilometers from its mouth.

HYDROGRAPHY

The sea bed off the port is steeply shelving and reaches 1,000 meters depth at the entrance of the Macajalar Bay.

OCEANOGRAPHY

There are strong waves in Macajalar Bay but these waves are expected  to have little effect on the port because it is sheltered by the Macabalan Point.

A portion of the southern branch of the north equatorial current flows through the Mindanao Sea and is strongest during the period of December to March. On the southern part of the sea, the currents are variable and tend to follow the wind direction. Thus, it is possible for an anti-clockwise current to exist in Macajalar Bay, varying in intensity throughout the year.

CLIMATOLOGICAL CONDITIONS

Under normal condition, the weather is from light to moderate winds from the North East, coastal water waves will be from light to moderate effects. Generally, the prevailing wind is from the north and northwest. Annual rainfall is relatively low and occurs mainly from May to July, coinciding with the period of the southwest monsoon.
