Punta Paloma
Best for kiting all year, with 62 to 76 % kite days. Water 16 to 22 °C.
A kite day has at least 3 hours of 12 to 35 knots (gusts up to 45) between 10:00 and 19:00, in daylight. Percentages are the share of such days in each month, counted over 9 years.
- Prime 60 % and more
- Good 40 to 59 %
- Possible 20 to 39 %
- Off under 20 %
- No data hatched
- Ringed: this month
Prime also needs a good month in at least 7 of the 9 years, so one freak year cannot make a month Prime. A month with 60 %+ but fewer good years shows as Good.
Confidence lowSources disagree on the season here, and the model data misses the summer thermal wind. Global weather models underestimate local thermal winds at lakes, gorges and some coasts. Shares its model grid cell with 5 nearby spots, so the numbers describe the area, not one beach.
