- Good kite forecast: wind 6.2 m/s, gusts 7.7 m/s, no major model differences
- Significant gusts forecast (7.7 m/s)
- Low water temp – risk of hypothermia (13.5°C)
- Too light wind – kite foiling only (4.9 m/s)
- Wetsuit required (14.0°C)
- Wind too light – not suitable (3.5 m/s)
- Low water temp – risk of hypothermia (13.5°C)
- Rain detected – challenging conditions
- Models wind forecasts diverge significantly (> 9.4 m/s) (ICON Global 14.1 m/s vs LEW 4.7 m/s)
- Significant gusts forecast (9.0 m/s)
- Low water temp – risk of hypothermia (13.5°C)
- Rain detected – challenging conditions
- Models wind forecasts diverge significantly (> 10.1 m/s) (ICON Global 13.7 m/s vs LEW 3.6 m/s)
- Light wind – experience required (5.2 m/s)
