- Good kite forecast: wind 5.5 m/s, gusts 6.4 m/s, no major model differences
- Light wind – experience required (5.5 m/s)
- Low water temp – risk of hypothermia (5.3°C)
- Models wind forecasts diverge significantly (> 5.3 m/s) (ECMWF 11.3 m/s vs LEW 5.9 m/s)
- Strong wind – experience required (10.1 m/s)
- Significant gusts forecast (11.4 m/s)
- Low water temp – risk of hypothermia (5.4°C)
- Wind too strong – unsafe conditions (16.5 m/s)
- High gust forecast (21.9 m/s)
- Rain detected – challenging conditions
- Low water temp – risk of hypothermia (5.5°C)
