Direction first
Wind must fall within the checked working sector for that shore. An unsuitable direction limits the result regardless of speed.
DAILY BRIEF · REFRESHED EVERY 5 MINUTES
Where to kitesurf today
Saint Petersburg, Leningrad Region and Egypt: the system compares three forecast models, available shore observations and each spot’s working wind directions. This is a preliminary reference; a personal calculation depends on weight, level and kite size.
Reference profile: confident rider, 75 kg, twin-tip and a 12 m² kite. A different weight, level or kite can change the result.
Comparing forecasts with fresh observations…
This is a preliminary filter, not clearance to launch. Recheck actual wind, direction relative to shore, camera, obstacles, rescue, equipment and your own condition.
HOW TO READ THE BRIEF
Not “guaranteed great” — “worth checking”.
Then wind and gusts
The reference compares average wind and gusts for a 75 kg confident twin-tip rider on a 12 m² kite. Use the main planner for your own setup.
Model agreement
A large spread between ICON, ECMWF and GFS lowers the index. A fresh shore reading is identified separately and is never invented from a forecast.
Recheck on shore
Camera, actual wind, obstacles, access, rescue and equipment condition remain mandatory checks before launch.
