Texel
49% of March days clear 12 kt for three daylight hours or more.
March sits outside the best months here. This report carries the record for March as it is, and no direction or session norm, because there is none to quote. Section 02 shows the year-by-year spread; section 06 shows which months to come instead.
Hour-by-hour & month-by-month wind
Rideable-day share by month, all three sports
Share of days with three or more daylight hours over each sport's threshold, counted from the record at 12 kt, Windsurf 13 kt and Wing 12 kt.
Blue fill scales with the share. Selected month outlined. Threshold per row: Kite 12 kt · Windsurf 13 kt · Wing 12 kt.
Where the wind sits, March
Share of daylight hours in each speed band, blue above the threshold.
Not drawn: 6% of daylight hours under 4 kt.
When in the day, March
Share of days over 12 kt at each daylight hour.
Rideable hours, not all hours. Every wind figure in this report is the mean over hours above the threshold.
March's own records
The month's own figures from three Marches in the record, 2022 to 2026. Not the year's average.
What the percentage hides. A month at 80% can be twenty-four steady days or three windy weeks broken by a dead front.

Per-launch tide notes
At low water a rip can sometimes show as a stream running between the sandbanks. Hours per tide state unknown until tide data arrives.
No tide information found for this stretch. Look at it from the shore before launching.
No source read gives the tide states that work here. Ask locally before launching.
Tide data not yet available for this spot. The record holds wind, air and waves, not tide. Until a tide source is connected, the tables above stay empty rather than estimated. What the guide says about tide is on the next page, in words.
Zones, posts & rip currents
Every hazard on the spot page, repeated here in full. Read this before you get wet.

The beach is wide, with shallow gullies between the sandbanks and higher waves beyond them, so the depth changes as you cross a bank. At Dijkmanshuizen on the Wadden Sea a spot guide describes shallow, flat water with shells on the bottom: wear shoes.
Seawater pushed towards the beach by the tide and the waves flows back out to sea as a rip, a current running seaward; at low water a rip can sometimes show as a stream running between the sandbanks. Spot guides warn of strong current at the lighthouse. Kitesurfing is allowed on the sporting beaches, posts 17.60 to 18.99 and 28.20 to 32, and on recreational beach with no buildings on it; it is banned from post 32 to 33.02, on built-up beach and within 50 metres of the lighthouse seawall.
Getting there, packing & best months
March has no session mean to size from, so no sizes are given.
Best months, Kite. Record.
Sources, and their limits
Where each section of this report comes from. Record is measured. Modelled is computed by a formula because no measurement exists yet; it looks like data and is not. Written is WindChaser's editorial copy, compiled from the sources below.
The record
Hourly wind, 2022 to 2026, from MET Norway Nordic via Open-Meteo: a 1 km grid, read at the cell 0.6 km from the spot. It knows the wind over the cell, not the gust on the sand in front of you, and it knows the bearing, not the coastline: "side-onshore" is a rider's reading of the bearing. Each month is counted over three to four years.
What we could not source for Texel
A crowd count: the months above are compiled research. A bathing water classification, and a first-hand reading of the local vibe. Tide tables and per-launch tide windows. A station check on the wind record. Surveyed launch coordinates. A windsurf or wing school or rental on the island, and a wing launch named by anyone but the Round Texel organisers. The instrument behind the Dijkmanshuizen season, and how the Wadden Sea rule applies to other lesson spots. The ferry crossing time. A measured water temperature. A licensed photograph.
