The recorded main wind is a named regional wind (the scirocco and the tramontana) at 33, a thermal sea breeze at 7 and a trade wind at 1. The highest modelled share of windy days in April is 57% at Granelli & Marina di Modica; the share is known for 30 of the 43. 39 of them have a spot that takes beginners.

Level

Showing all 43 destinations.

What modelled windy, riders' months and no series mean

modelled windy

The modelled series at one of the destination's spots puts April at half its days or more with three or more hours over 12 knots. That share is enough on its own: a spot here may or may not also name April among its best months.

riders' months

A spot names April among its best months while the model reads under half. Both figures are drawn and neither is adjusted.

no series

No spot at the destination carries a usable modelled series, so the months are the ones riders and schools name.

Modelled windy in April

3 destinations

A spot's modelled series reaches 50% of April days or more. That share is enough on its own: a destination here may or may not also have a spot naming April among its best months.

How this list is ordered, and what puts a destination on it

Ordered by the modelled share of windy days in April where a spot carries a series (30 of 43 here); where a destination groups several spots, the share shown is the best of them, and the spot it was modelled at is printed under the figure on every card.

Italy beyond April

The Italy country guide covers visa, money, driving and the rules that apply everywhere in the country. Where to kitesurf in April lists the 238 destinations in season elsewhere this month.

Italy has three or more destinations in season in January, February, March, April, May, June, July, August, September, October, November and December.
