- Wind too strong – unsafe conditions (16.7 m/s)
- High gust forecast (20.7 m/s)
- Models wind forecasts diverge significantly (> 7.4 m/s) (GFS27 16.7 m/s vs LEW 9.2 m/s)
- Wave height – experience required (2.4 m)
- Low water temp – risk of hypothermia (13.3°C)
- Unlikely breeze — 0% probability
- Good kite forecast: wind 13.3 m/s, gusts 18.0 m/s, no major model differences
