- Wind too light – not suitable (4.9 m/s)
- Models wind forecasts diverge significantly (> 5.3 m/s) (ECMWF 8.3 m/s vs ICON Global 2.9 m/s)
- Low breeze chance — 33% probability
- Low water temp – risk of hypothermia (8.4°C)
- Too light wind – kite foiling only (4.9 m/s)
- Good kite forecast: wind 5.7 m/s, gusts 7.0 m/s, no major model differences
- Unlikely breeze — 18% probability
- Light wind – experience required (5.7 m/s)
- Significant gusts forecast (7.0 m/s)
- Low water temp – risk of hypothermia (8.5°C)
- Good kite forecast: wind 5.4 m/s, gusts 6.3 m/s, no major model differences
- Low breeze chance — 49% probability
- Light wind – experience required (5.4 m/s)
- Low water temp – risk of hypothermia (8.8°C)
- Rain detected – challenging conditions
