The highest modelled share of windy days in May is 52% at Alimini & San Foca; the share is known for 34 of the 49. 42 of them have a spot that takes beginners.
Showing all 49 destinations.
modelled windy
The modelled series at one of the destination's spots puts May 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 May among its best months.
riders' months
A spot names May 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.
1 destinations
A spot's modelled series reaches 50% of May days or more. That share is enough on its own: a destination here may or may not also have a spot naming May among its best months.

Ordered by the modelled share of windy days in May where a spot carries a series (34 of 49 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 Italy country guide covers visa, money, driving and the rules that apply everywhere in the country. Where to kitesurf in May lists the 281 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.
