- Wind too light – not suitable (2.7 m/s)
- Low water temp – risk of hypothermia (13.3°C)
- Low breeze chance — 35% probability
- Too light wind – kite foiling only (4.5 m/s)
- Models wind forecasts diverge significantly (> 7.3 m/s) (HRRR 9.6 m/s vs ICON Global 2.2 m/s)
- Low water temp – risk of hypothermia (13.0°C)
- Unlikely breeze — 14% probability
