Every kitesurfing spot,
on one map
A community-edited wiki of kitesurfing spots. See which ones work this week and how often each delivers month by month — scored against its own wind directions. Filter for your day or month, and add what you know.
Every spot on one map — on the map you like
Pan and zoom, and the spots come with you.
- Nearby spots gather into clusters until you zoom in.
- Three basemaps: dark and quiet, light in sand and sea tones, or the detailed OpenStreetMap chart.
- Your choice is remembered; a shared link opens on the map it was sent from.
Wind direction, drawn into the pin
The directions a spot works with — sixteen sectors — sit inside its pin.
- One glance at the map shows which spots suit today.
- No tapping through, no second symbol drifting away from the first.
The week ahead, scored for this spot
Seven days of wind forecast, each day scored from 0 to 100.
- The score: the best three hours in a row, 6:00–22:00, at your threshold and from a direction the spot works with.
- An hourly timeline for the week — wind, gusts, direction, cloud, rain — shows when to go, not just whether.
See where it is on, straight from the map
Set the wind filter to Forecast, pick a day and a minimum wind: every pin gets a ring in its score's colour.
- Marginal, good or epic — the rings are the legend too: tap good+ or epic to hide everything below.
- Spots without a session fade back instead of vanishing.
- Day, threshold and directions all go into the link you share.
A list that ranks by today's wind
The spots in view, best first.
- Each tile: today's score, the wind now with gusts and direction, and the usual rideable days this month and per year.
- Change the threshold and the order follows.
When does it actually blow here
Every spot's wind history, month by month since 2023 — counted only over the hours people are on the water.
- Pick 12, 15, 20 or 25 knots.
- Wind days, and rideable days: that wind from a direction the spot works with.
- An info button explains exactly how a day is counted.
Find the spots that deliver in your month
Going in October? Set the wind filter to History, ask for at least eight rideable days at 15 knots — everything else drops away.
- Any month, the whole year, or simply this month.
- Count any wind, or only wind from each spot's own directions.
Filter down to your day
Every filter narrows the map at once.
- Wind first — forecast or history.
- Sport, water type, how you get on the water, level, the months it is open.
- What is there: parking, showers, a school, a rescue service.
- Access rules, like a licence or a fee.
Areas on the water, not just a dot
A spot is rarely a point, so riders draw its areas straight onto the map — the shape of a place survives being explained badly.
- Where you can ride.
- Where you launch and land.
- Where you must not go.
What else is there when you arrive
Kite schools and shops are on the map from the start; switch on the rest as you need it.
- Campsites and van sites; toilets, showers and drinking water; restaurants and snack bars; hotels, guest houses and hostels; car parks.
- Only near rideable water — across Europe, and along the sea worldwide.
- Each kind has its own pin, and the menu is the legend.
- Places at one spot line up side by side instead of hiding underneath.
A wiki, not a directory
Anyone signed in can correct a public spot.
- Every edit is kept: who changed what, from what to what. A bad change rolls back in one step.
- Something wrong you cannot fix? Report it, and a moderator takes a look.
- Rate spots and keep favourites.
- For each spot you add: the world sees it, only your friends, or only you.
Just as much on your phone
One-handed on the beach: a full-screen map, spots in a sheet you pull up as far as you need, the menu under your thumb.
