Why we show this
Every other school tells you it's windy. We let you check.
Our own station
A weather station on our beach logs the wind about once a minute — 2 million+ readings since 2022. Not a windfinder model, not a guess.
The honest metric
A day counts as rideable only when the wind held ≥ 12 kt for at least 2 daytime hours — a real session, not a 20-minute gust.
Peaks & floors
Even our quietest month, December, rides about 6 days in 10; August peaks near 85%. Browse it yourself above.
