- Good kite forecast: wind 5.3 m/s, gusts 5.1 m/s, no major model differences
- Light wind – experience required (5.3 m/s)
- Low water temp – risk of hypothermia (6.8°C)
- Unlikely breeze — 3% probability
- Good kite forecast: wind 9.8 m/s, gusts 10.5 m/s, no major model differences
- Significant gusts forecast (10.5 m/s)
