Based on about 18 year(s) of ERA5 reanalysis data. ERA5 averages wind over whole grid cells and models it weaker over land, so the figures above come from the nearest cell that lies over open water — about 27 km south-west of the spot — rather than the cell nearest the spot. These are modelled cell averages, not measurements at the spot.

Wind figures are long-term ERA5 climatology (multi-year monthly averages), not a weather forecast. Kitesurfing is done at your own risk.
