- Good kite forecast: wind 5.0 m/s, gusts 9.6 m/s, no major model differences
- Light wind – experience required (5.0 m/s)
- Significant gusts forecast (9.6 m/s)
- Low water temp – risk of hypothermia (13.4°C)
- High breeze chance — 90% probability
- Too light wind – kite foiling only (4.8 m/s)
- Significant gusts forecast (8.6 m/s)
- Low water temp – risk of hypothermia (13.6°C)
- Moderate breeze chance — 68% probability
- Heavy rain – dangerous conditions possible (>2)
- Models wind forecasts diverge significantly (> 5.8 m/s) (ECMWF 12.0 m/s vs LEW 6.2 m/s)
- Significant gusts forecast (11.9 m/s)
- Wave height – experience required (2.2 m)
- Low water temp – risk of hypothermia (13.4°C)
- Unlikely breeze — 4% probability
