Hour-by-hour & month-by-month wind
Rideable-day share by month, all three sports
Share of days with three or more daylight hours over each sport's threshold, counted from the record at 12 kt, Windsurf 13 kt and Wing 12 kt.
Blue fill scales with the share. Selected month outlined. Threshold per row: Kite 12 kt · Windsurf 13 kt · Wing 12 kt.
Where the wind sits, June
Share of daylight hours in each speed band, blue above the threshold.
Not drawn: 8% of daylight hours under 4 kt.
When in the day, June
Share of days over 12 kt at each daylight hour.
Rideable hours, not all hours. Every wind figure in this report is the mean over hours above the threshold.
June's own records
The month's own figures from ten Junes in the record, 2017 to 2026. Not the year's average.
What the percentage hides. A month at 80% can be twenty-four steady days or three windy weeks broken by a dead front.

Per-launch tide notes
Tidal: only at certain periods of the month, about four hours of kiting a day at most.
The lagoon reaches about hip height at high tide. Hours per tide state unknown until tide data arrives.
Tide data not yet available for this spot. The record holds wind, air and waves, not tide. Until a tide source is connected, the tables above stay empty rather than estimated. What the guide says about tide is on the next page, in words.
Offshore drift & the tidal lagoon
Every hazard on the spot page, repeated here in full. Read this before you get wet.

A sandbank separates the lagoon from the sea. The lagoon is only there at certain periods of the month, reaches about hip height at high tide, and gives about four hours of kiting a day at most. In strong wind a big shore dump breaks at high tide.
The wind blows side-shore to offshore from the left, so a rider who drops a kite drifts out to sea. The centres run rescue boats and jet skis, and the spot guides say the rescue is paid. Ride only where a rescue boat covers you. In an emergency call 112.
Getting there, packing & best months
Derived from the mean near 15 kt over the season’s rideable hours in the record, March to July, not from a fitted quiver. The record likely reads low here: spot guides put summer at over 20 kt, so bring smaller sizes too.
Best months, Kite. Record.
Sources, and their limits
Where each section of this report comes from. Record is measured. Modelled is computed by a formula because no measurement exists yet; it looks like data and is not. Written is WindChaser's editorial copy, compiled from the sources below.
The record
Hourly wind, 2017 to 2026, from ECMWF IFS HRES via Open-Meteo: a 9 km grid, read at the cell 2.3 km from the spot. It knows the wind over the cell, not the gust on the sand in front of you, and it knows the bearing, not the coastline: "side-onshore" is a rider's reading of the bearing. Each month is counted over nine to ten years.
What we could not source for Sotavento, Fuerteventura
A wind record that agrees with the centres: this one reads low and needs a station check before the grade. Any rules instrument for the beach or the lagoon licence. A head count of riders by month: the crowd tiers are compiled research. A water quality classification, and a first-hand reading of the local vibe. Tide tables and per-launch tide windows. Surveyed launch coordinates. A water temperature. Licensed photographs.
Conditions change. Check local rules and conditions before you ride.
