Data & methodology: https://www.kitesurfspots.com/methodology
Monthly wind and temperature climatology is computed from Open-Meteo historical weather (3 years of daily data) and marine (sea-surface temperature) APIs. A windy day is a day whose maximum wind implies roughly 12 kt+ sustained. Listing details come from public kite-travel sources and Google Places, rewritten and reviewed.
