The tool allows you to select time ranges from 5 a.m. to 8 p.m., a whole day to plan! Find the time slot that combines the forecast you are most interested in according to your kite style and level.
If you look at the left side of the WindGuru table, you will see that all the indicators we are interested in will appear. First of all, you will come across the variable ‘wind speed’. By default it is marked in knots, but by clicking on it you can change the measurement system to kilometers per hour.
You will see that the strength of the wind is represented by a continuum of colors ranging from turquoise to red: slower or stronger speed respectively. This schedule is very intuitive and easy to read.
Look at the value ‘wind gusts’ to know the points where it will blow the strongest. If you also take into account the previous data (the speed of the wind), you will be able to know if you can expect a day of smooth and constant wind or if it will be a day of strong emotions.
WindGuru gives us the exact direction of the cardinal point where the wind will blow by placing the mouse over each of the arrows indicated according to each hour, a very interesting fact if you know which one suits better the Tarifa spot you have decided to visit.
This value specifies the size of the waves in meters. In this case, the color range is always blue: the darker the shade, the greater the strength of the swell. Undoubtedly, this information is very valuable for those who are taking their first steps in this sport.
There are many other indicators that will help you to forecast how the weather conditions will be during your kitesurfing day: the outside temperature, cloud cover or precipitation. It is important for those who prefer to avoid rain or excessive heat.
Now you know how to interpret WindGuru to enjoy 100% of the possibilities that Tarifa offers you as a kiter or rider. As you can see, the apparent chaos when you first enter this tool is easy to overcome if you keep in mind the relevant information, see you at the beach!
