How much wind do we need for kitesurfing?

For Learning

From 7 knots, using our specialized light-wind gear (foil kites and single-strut kites), we guarantee amazing conditions to learn every step from Kite Control to Steady Pull with a feeling of safety and control. In these conditions, we use kites that steer more slowly, giving students the time to adjust their technique and providing instructors with the perfect setup for this level.

For Riding

From 11 knots, while conditions remain perfect for beginners, the increased wind speed provides the ideal power to master board starts and riding. Experienced riders will also enjoy this range, as it offers the steady and reassuring conditions needed to try new maneuvers like riding toeside, jumping, or adding grabs.

For More Powered Sessions

From 15 knots, we switch to smaller, more reactive kites that provide a direct and sporty feeling. In these conditions, experienced kiters can easily stay upwind, allowing us to organize Kite Safaris to explore the beautiful islands of the lagoon together.

Lo Stagnone: more wind than people think

Why our wind is stronger than forecasts

The Lagoon Advantage

Lo Stagnone is a protected natural lagoon near Trapani, 'The City of Winds'. The shallow waters (80-120cm) and thermal effects create ideal conditions for kitesurfing.

Forecast vs Reality

Forecasts don't take into account the thermal effect that happens on sunny days, which boosts the wind considerably.

Looking back at 2025 season

2025 confirmed Lo Stagnone's reputation as a wind machine. We recorded an exceptional frequency of ridable days, particularly from late March through October. The thermal effect was incredibly reliable, providing steady afternoon breezes even on days when regional forecasts showed calm conditions. Our statistics show that over 92% of the season offered perfect conditions for at least one of our three levels, making it one of the most consistent years on record.

Season & wind: frequently asked questions

When is the best time to kitesurf in Lo Stagnone?

Any time of year. Lo Stagnone is kiteable on about 90% of days or more, because the lagoon works with every wind direction. From May to September the wind is mostly thermal; the rest of the year it depends on the weather. If you want warm water without a wetsuit, come from June to the end of September.

How much wind do I need to kitesurf?

Less than most people think. From about 7 knots you can learn with our light-wind gear (foil and single-strut kites). From 11 knots you can practise board starts and riding. From 15 knots we switch to smaller kites for more powered sessions and Kite Safaris around the lagoon islands.

Can I learn kitesurfing in any month?

Yes. Based on 5 years of wind data (2020–2025), there is enough wind to learn on 93–99% of days in every month from March to November. With our light-wind gear, beginners can start almost any day.

Is there enough wind in summer (July and August)?

Yes. Wind good enough for beginners blows on 97–99% of summer days, and wind for riding on about 67–78% of days. The average is a little lighter (about 9–10 knots), but the thermal effect often makes it stronger on sunny afternoons.

Which months have the strongest wind?

March, April and November, with about 11–12 knots on average and the most days for experienced riders. June to August are lighter on average but very regular, which is ideal for learning.

Do I need a wetsuit?

From June to the end of September the water is warm, so you can kite without a wetsuit. In spring and autumn you need one, but the air is pleasant and you never feel cold. A wetsuit is included with every lesson and rental, and you can also rent one if you only need spot access.

Can I kitesurf in winter?

Yes. Our season runs from March to November, but Lo Stagnone is kiteable all year. Outside the season the school isn't fully open, but we can organise lessons on request, and the lagoon is almost empty: very comfortable.

Is Lo Stagnone crowded in summer?

In July and August there are more people on the lagoon. Our station is a little outside the area of the big schools, still in the knee-deep water, so in front of our school you have a really big area with far fewer people.

Why is the wind often stronger than the forecast?

Forecasts don't include the thermal effect. On sunny days the land heats up and strengthens the wind over the lagoon, especially in the afternoon. That's why Lo Stagnone, near Trapani "the City of Winds", often has more wind than the apps predict.

Where do these wind statistics come from?

From 5 years of wind-station data (2020–2025), analysed day by day. For each day of the year, the calendar shows how often there was enough wind to learn, to ride and for powered sessions. These are probabilities, not a guarantee for a given day.
