September is a good month to go to / stay in Europe if you look at the wind statistics. Most of the destinations that are famous of thermal wind also have this in September cause the temperatures are still quite high. With Autumn around the corner there are also other spots where the season is about to start. In this article we give you suggestions for a kitesurfing holiday in September.

10 destinations for a kitesurfing holiday in September

1. Texel (The Netherlands)

Ever heard of Texel? It’s one of the 5 islands in the northern part of the Netherlands. The changes of wind in September are around 76% which is quite high. And you know what? If you live closeby it doesn’t even has to be expensive. There are lots of nice campsites on the island where you can sleep for a few euro per night.

2. Hvide Sande (Denmark)

Denmark is probably not the first country that pops into your head if you are talking about kitesurfing destinations. Denmark is, just like the Netherlands, surrounded by water. Hvide Sande is the most beautiful spot, you have the opportunity here to kite both on the inner lake (Ringkobing Fjord) and on the sea. Perfect for both beginners and advanced and for most wind directions. Rent a camper, throw in all your gear and go on a road trip to Denmark!

Maui is one of the islands of Hawaii and also known as surf mecca. It is home to many surf brands and pioneers of the sport.

Not the surf mecca of the world like Maui but the kitesurf mecca of Europe: Tarifa. Tarifa is also called the kitesurfing capital of Europe. The wind blows around 300+ days a year, add the 3,000 hours of sunshine a year and you have an ideal kite surfing destination close to home. Tarifa owes its good conditions to, among other things, the strong Levante wind.

In the article with best kitesurfing destinations in August, I already wrote that Dakhla actually belongs to this list from May to September, so there he is again! The village of Dakhla is located in the middle of Western Sahara in Morocco. You will find a village, water and sand. Get away from it all and just focus on kitesurfing. Dakhla has both flat water and good wave spots.
