Ringed months are the ones riders and schools name: Jan, Feb, Mar, Apr, Oct, Nov, Dec.
Nothing has been measured or modelled for this place: twelve months and no figure in any of them. The months riders name are all there is.
riders' months
Riders and schools name these months. The model reads lower here, and both are shown rather than averaged.

- Kiting is prohibited outside the October-April permitted season.
- Nature reserve/protected bird areas north of the spot; stay in the kite zone.
- Makkum-Kornwerderzand fairway north of the kite area, marked with red and green buoys; do not cross it into the nature area.
