- Good kite forecast: wind 5.8 m/s, gusts 7.0 m/s, no major model differences
- Light wind – experience required (5.8 m/s)
- Low water temp – risk of hypothermia (13.6°C)
- Low breeze chance — 33% probability
- Wind too light – not suitable (3.6 m/s)
- Wetsuit required (14.3°C)
- Moderate breeze chance — 56% probability
- Wind too light – not suitable (3.8 m/s)
- Wetsuit required (14.3°C)
- Low breeze chance — 42% probability
- Rain detected – challenging conditions
