- High gust forecast (20.8 m/s)
- Models wind forecasts diverge significantly (> 6.8 m/s) (HRRR 15.3 m/s vs LEW 8.5 m/s)
- Strong wind – experience required (14.7 m/s)
- Wave height – experience required (2.5 m)
- Low water temp – risk of hypothermia (13.7°C)
- Too light wind – kite foiling only (4.2 m/s)
