How this is modelled
Each figure is the share of days with three consecutive daylight hours at 12 knots or more. A weather model's cell over this place, not a station on it, run over 2023-2024. Good for comparing one place with another, weaker for one beach.
Wind on the beach
What the spot record warns about
- afternoon wind can become strongly overpowered
- side-offshore wind risks drifting away from the beach if you lose your kite
- shallow sandbanks and fin catches at low tide
- crowding/collisions near school zones at busy high-tide windows
- Prevailing cross-offshore to offshore wind can carry riders away from the beach on the open-ocean side if gear fails or they cannot ride upwind.
- Thermal and Venturi acceleration can push the wind well past the model forecast: sudden increases of 10 kt, and summer days of 30-40 kt.
