- Good kite forecast: wind 5.5 m/s, gusts 6.5 m/s, no major model differences
- Light wind – experience required (5.5 m/s)
- Wave height – experience required (2.0 m)
- Low water temp – risk of hypothermia (11.2°C)
- Unlikely breeze — 6% probability
- Models wind forecasts diverge significantly (> 6.0 m/s) (ICON Global 10.8 m/s vs LEW 4.8 m/s)
- Significant gusts forecast (13.9 m/s)
- Low water temp – risk of hypothermia (11.2°C)
- Unlikely breeze — 2% probability
- Good kite forecast: wind 5.5 m/s, gusts 11.7 m/s, no major model differences
- Light wind – experience required (5.5 m/s)
- Significant gusts forecast (11.7 m/s)
- Low water temp – risk of hypothermia (11.5°C)
- Moderate breeze chance — 68% probability
- Too light wind – kite foiling only (4.6 m/s)
- Low water temp – risk of hypothermia (11.7°C)
- High breeze chance — 78% probability
- Wind too light – not suitable (2.8 m/s)
- Low water temp – risk of hypothermia (11.5°C)
- Unlikely breeze — 3% probability
