Weather specificities: Average air temps during summer around 21C, winter around 16C. A wetsuit is always needed.
Wind type: Thermal
Wind specificities: The wind in Luederitz blows consistently, in the same direction, from August to March every year. The wind is strong, and in spite of the surrounding desert, is not hot, which gives higher density to the airflow and contributes to better performances. It is accelerated by a funnel effect as it comes from the cold Atlantic Ocean waters, over the dry savanna of south Namibia, and into the Namibian desert. It is precisely in Luederitz that the wind, channeled through a range of high hills perfectly shaped to increase its speed, reaches the sand desert, which high daytime temperatures amplify by creating an additional low-pressure 'suction effect'. As a result, we benefit from extra strong winds, very regular in direction and strength. Luederitz is normally windy for a four to five day period without a break at least three to four times a month, and we could say from experience that in-season, 50-70% of the time is good for record conditions. The ideal angle to the wind to reach very high speed in kitesurfing or windsurfing is to be around 140 degrees. This is the exact angle on the run in Luederitz.
Best months: January, February, March, August, September, October, November, December
