Typical, not a forecast. Reanalysis wind misses some local thermal winds, so a spot known for an afternoon breeze may do better than this.

About Kite Spot Kourou
Known for kitesurfing, by the OpenStreetMap map of the area. The shore faces NE, so wind from the SW blows out to sea (our estimate from the coastline).
Water about 28°C: no wetsuit. Typical sea temperature for the time of year, not a forecast.
A spot for kitesurfing, as OpenStreetMap maps it, on a shore facing NE. Wind from the NE blows onshore, wind from the SW blows out to sea, and wind from the SE or NW runs along the shore. It is exposed to the open sea. The sea floor shelves very gently: 10 m deep about 16.7 km out (1 in 1667). The sea is about 27°C in January, its coldest month (no wetsuit), and 29°C in July, its warmest (no wetsuit). For kitesurfing at expert level the best months are usually January, February and March, with about 1 good days in 7. From the weather of past years. The town to stay in is Kourou. Within 5 km we also list 1 kayak spot.
The score is the conditions only: the journey, the price and the partners never change it (how we score, how we earn).
