Level

Showing all 35 destinations.

What modelled windy, riders' months and no series mean

modelled windy

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

riders' months

A spot names September 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 September

3 destinations

A spot's modelled series reaches 50% of September days or more. That share is enough on its own: a destination here may or may not also have a spot naming September 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 September where a spot carries a series (25 of 35 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.

Spain beyond September

The Spain country guide covers visa, money, driving and the rules that apply everywhere in the country. Where to kitesurf in September lists the 295 destinations in season elsewhere this month.

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