The recorded main wind is the monsoon at 2 and a thermal sea breeze at 1. The highest modelled share of windy days in November is 80% at Hainan - Sanya; the share is known for 1 of the 3. 2 of them have a spot that takes beginners.

Showing all 3 destinations.

What modelled windy, riders' months and no series mean

modelled windy

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

riders' months

A spot names November 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 November

1 destinations

A spot's modelled series reaches 50% of November days or more. That share is enough on its own: a destination here may or may not also have a spot naming November 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 November where a spot carries a series (1 of 3 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.

China beyond November

The China country guide covers visa, money, driving and the rules that apply everywhere in the country. Where to kitesurf in November lists the 269 destinations in season elsewhere this month.

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