- Good kite forecast: wind 10.7 m/s, gusts 13.0 m/s, no major model differences
- Strong wind – experience required (10.7 m/s)
- Significant gusts forecast (13.0 m/s)
- Low water temp – risk of hypothermia (12.5°C)
- Unlikely breeze — 1% probability
- Models wind forecasts diverge significantly (> 5.2 m/s) (HRRR 9.1 m/s vs LEW 3.8 m/s)
- Light wind – experience required (5.9 m/s)
- Significant gusts forecast (8.2 m/s)
- Low water temp – risk of hypothermia (12.6°C)
- Low breeze chance — 41% probability
- Wind too light – not suitable (3.5 m/s)
