Top 12 of 26 kitesurfing destinations scored for March · ERA5 reanalysis 2015-2024 · updated monthly
March opens the season at Cabarete, Lo Stagnone and Delta de l'Ebre and closes it at Hel Peninsula. Of the 26 kitesurfing destinations in the dataset, 21 score 68 or better in March and 19 reach the prime band above 80, and the ten best places lean Africa, which takes 5 of them.
Bulabog leads on 98 at 75% windy days. Across the top ten the spread is Africa (5), Europe (3), Asia (1), North America (1). The month is split across both hemispheres — 3 of the ten best are south of the equator — so the choice is as much about flight time as about score.
Ranked by score out of 100. Each strip shows all twelve months, so you can see whether March is the spot's peak or its shoulder.
