- Good kite forecast: wind 5.7 m/s, gusts 7.3 m/s, no major model differences
- Light wind – experience required (5.7 m/s)
- Significant gusts forecast (7.3 m/s)
- Low water temp – risk of hypothermia (12.9°C)
- Unlikely breeze — 14% probability
- Rain detected – challenging conditions
- Models wind forecasts diverge significantly (> 5.0 m/s) (HRRR 8.8 m/s vs LEW 3.8 m/s)
- Significant gusts forecast (8.5 m/s)
