Aruba
Aruba packs its kiting into a small northwest corner of the island: Fisherman's Huts (also branded Sarah-Quita Beach after the island's own world-champion rider) for flat, shallow teaching water, Boca Grandi on the choppier southeast coast for advanced riders, and Arashi Beach as a quieter third option near the lighthouse.

NE trades blow reliably December through August. It's a safe, English-friendly, well-run island trip - schools, rescue boats, hotel infrastructure all in place - that suits beginners and families as much as it does riders chasing a stronger session at Boca Grandi.

The windiest town in season each month: its share of windy days
Nothing has been measured or modelled for this place: twelve months and no figure in any of them.
No place here is in season in September, October and November, so those months carry no figure rather than a zero.

How this list is ordered
The places are in the order of how many spots each place holds. None of them carries a wind score: the atlas scores wind reliability one spot at a time, against a named weather station and the distance to it, and a place that groups several spots has no single station to stand behind one number.For wind by month, see When to go above.

Not written yet
Nothing has been written about SIM & internet, Insurance, Health, Driving and Regulation for Aruba yet, so there is no section for them above. That is a gap in what we hold, not a sign that there is nothing to know.
