- Good kite forecast: wind 7.6 m/s, gusts 9.2 m/s, no major model differences
- Unlikely breeze — 7% probability
- Significant gusts forecast (9.2 m/s)
- Wetsuit required (14.5°C)
- Models wind forecasts diverge significantly (> 6.1 m/s) (GFS27 13.0 m/s vs LEW 6.9 m/s)
- Unlikely breeze — 6% probability
- Strong wind – experience required (13.0 m/s)
