windy days per month (3 h+ at 12 kn+)
Ringed months are the ones riders and schools name: Mar, Apr, May, Sep, Oct, Nov.
The model is wrong here
The model reads 15% of days at its best month, which does not sit with the season and the wind strength this record states. The figures are kept and drawn as hatching so no wind colour can be read off them, and the ringed months are the ones riders name.

riders' months
Riders and schools name these months. The model reads lower here, and both are shown rather than averaged.
Modelled from the operational forecast archive at 1.5–7 km (2023-2024), daylight hours only, not a ground station: it resolves thermal, lake and valley winds far better than coarse reanalysis but still tends to understate a strong local thermal. A windy day has at least three consecutive daylight hours at 12 knots or more. The typical daily max and the direction are columns of the table above, month by month. Highlighted months are the riding season from the spot record.

Access rules drift faster than anything else we hold — check locally, and propose an edit if this has changed.
Rider tips
- Check corridor status locally before rigging in summer; the published spot descriptions lag the municipal ordinance.
- Skip Bora days unless you have handled side-offshore drift before or have rescue cover.
- Give the wooden piers room on the way in: they come every 60-80 m and the Scirocco shore break stacks up on them.
- Keep off the sand between UMG 8 and UMG 9, amber lights or not.
- Park in the hospital area, free off-season and paid in summer.

FAQ
When is the best time to kite at Jesolo - Ospedale?
Spring (March-May) and autumn (September-November) are the most cited windows, since the spot has no dependable daily thermal.
Is Jesolo - Ospedale suitable for beginners?
No, listings put it at intermediate and advanced/pro level, partly because Bora can be side-offshore with drift risk.
What is the wind like at Jesolo - Ospedale?
Wind is variable with no regular pattern; Bora can reach 30-40 knots and blow side-offshore to offshore at this stretch of coast.
Are there rules or restricted zones?
A 2025 rule bans kitesurfing from June to September except through authorized channels such as the hospital area, requires riding outside the 500 m buoys, and mandates flotation vests.
