How it works

One knot equals exactly 1.852 kilometers per hour. The knot is the standard unit for wind and sea speed worldwide — it's used in marine forecasts, aviation, and all watersport weather apps.

When your weather app says "20 knots," that's 37 km/h. Most kitesurfers start riding around 12 knots (22 km/h) and experienced riders handle up to 35+ knots (65 km/h).

Watersports Tracker lets you display speed in knots, km/h, or mph — whichever you prefer.

When you need this

  • Checking wind forecasts for kitesurfing, windsurfing, or sailing
  • Understanding your GPS speed from Watersports Tracker
  • Comparing conditions across different weather apps
  • Choosing the right kite or sail size based on wind speed
