Kitesurfing in April
68spots with wind this month
34countries
April is when the northern season restarts properly and the wind starts arriving with warm air behind it instead of a front. Water temperature lags a month or two behind the air, so a wetsuit is still the sensible call across most of Europe.
The ranking below reads the April score we keep on each spot. Egypt, Morocco and Spain carry the deepest choice this month.
