Level

Showing all 4 destinations.

What modelled windy, riders' months and no series mean

modelled windy

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

riders' months

A spot names February 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 February

1 destinations

A spot's modelled series reaches 50% of February days or more. That share is enough on its own: a destination here may or may not also have a spot naming February 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 February where a spot carries a series (1 of 4 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.

South Africa beyond February

The South Africa country guide covers visa, money, driving and the rules that apply everywhere in the country. Where to kitesurf in February lists the 231 destinations in season elsewhere this month.

South Africa has three or more destinations in season in January, February, March, October, November and December.
