- Good kite forecast: wind 8.8 m/s, gusts 11.7 m/s, no major model differences
- Significant gusts forecast (11.7 m/s)
- Low water temp – risk of hypothermia (10.9°C)
- Unlikely breeze — 12% probability
- Too light wind – kite foiling only (4.1 m/s)
- Models wind forecasts diverge significantly (> 5.2 m/s) (HRRR 8.2 m/s vs ICON Global 3.0 m/s)
- Low water temp – risk of hypothermia (10.6°C)
- Low breeze chance — 47% probability
- Too light wind – kite foiling only (4.5 m/s)
- Low water temp – risk of hypothermia (10.6°C)
- Low breeze chance — 30% probability
- Rain detected – challenging conditions
- Significant gusts forecast (13.6 m/s)
- Low water temp – risk of hypothermia (10.6°C)
- Unlikely breeze — 0% probability
