Level

Showing all 8 destinations.

What modelled windy, riders' months and no series mean

modelled windy

The modelled series at one of the destination's spots puts August 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 August among its best months.

riders' months

A spot names August 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.

Riders name it; the model does not

7 destinations

A spot lists August among its best months and the modelled share is below half. These are not weaker places: both figures are drawn and neither is adjusted.

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

Ordered by the modelled share of windy days in August where a spot carries a series (7 of 8 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.

The Croatia country guide covers visa, money, driving and the rules that apply everywhere in the country. Where to kitesurf in August lists the 296 destinations in season elsewhere this month.

Croatia has three or more destinations in season in May, June, July, August, September and October.
