Where to Paraglide in November: The Places That Fly Most

In November, the paragliding places in Europe that flew most often over the last three years were Moíres, Crete, Greece (96% of days), Tenerife - Taucho, Canary Islands, Spain (96% of days) and Arco da Calheta, Madeira, Portugal (96% of days). Further away, each continent's leader was Jiguaní in Cuba, Iquique in Chile, Virār in India, Kuruman in South Africa and Bourail in New Caledonia. Each figure is the share of November days, from 2023-09 to 2026-08, when at least one launch of the place had a two-hour window a typical EN-B pilot would fly: wind 5–25 km/h from a direction the launch faces (or a calm day with good thermals), gusts under 39 km/h, no rain or storm, and cloud off the launch.

How this is measured

Every launch in the OutDare map is judged hour by hour against the weather model's history at that spot: wind at the ground and at launch height, gusts, rain and thunderstorms, low cloud and the thermal ceiling. Places group the launches you would choose between on a trip, and a place flies on a day when any of its launches does. Only places with at least 2 launches are listed, and tow-only flatland fields are left out. Your own limits change the answer: the trip planner re-ranks every place for your wind range, and each place opens on the OutDare map for your exact dates.

A seasonal guide from past weather, never a substitute for the live forecast and your own judgement on the day.
