- Good kite forecast: wind 6.4 m/s, gusts 7.8 m/s, no major model differences
- Significant gusts forecast (7.8 m/s)
- Low water temp – risk of hypothermia (13.5°C)
- Wind too light – not suitable (3.4 m/s)
- Wetsuit required (14.0°C)
- Too light wind – kite foiling only (4.7 m/s)
- Models wind forecasts diverge significantly (> 5.3 m/s) (ECMWF 8.7 m/s vs LEW 3.4 m/s)
- Low water temp – risk of hypothermia (13.5°C)
- Rain detected – challenging conditions
- Models wind forecasts diverge significantly (> 7.6 m/s) (ICON Global 13.1 m/s vs LEW 5.5 m/s)
- Significant gusts forecast (9.1 m/s)
- Low water temp – risk of hypothermia (13.4°C)
- Heavy rain – dangerous conditions possible (>2)
- Models wind forecasts diverge significantly (> 8.3 m/s) (ECMWF 12.3 m/s vs LEW 4.0 m/s)
- Light wind – experience required (5.5 m/s)
- Wave height – experience required (2.6 m)
- Low water temp – risk of hypothermia (13.6°C)
- Too light wind – kite foiling only (5.0 m/s)
- Models wind forecasts diverge significantly (> 6.1 m/s) (ECMWF 9.7 m/s vs LEW 3.6 m/s)
