Statistics

At the SURF CENTER we log wind strength and direction every morning and afternoon since 1987. The numbers below are the averages of daily wind speeds. Our statistics are based on the Beaufort scale (las palabras “Beaufort scale” pueden llevar el enlace de la tabla de conversion). The percentages are based on all months since 1987. Percentage values show the weakest month and the strongest month throughout these years. Find more information on our surf spot at How To Windsurf 101 and plan your exciting windsurfing holidays in El Médano.
