modelled
A weather model's cell over this place, not a station on it, run over 2023-2024. Good for comparing one place with another, weaker for one beach.
Wind on the beach
- The kite beach sits at the north-east corner of the lake and faces roughly west-southwest.
- Open water runs several kilometres from due south round through west to north-west, so NW, W, SW and S all arrive onshore or cross-onshore, and those are the four directions the spot works on.
- N, NE and E come off the pines behind the beach; north wind in particular leaves the sand in a dead patch, which is why riders walk out and launch and land from the water on those days.
- The orientation is read off the lake outline, not from a published local bulletin.
What the spot record warns about
- Wind shadow near the launch in north wind
- Must stay south of the buoy line
- Navigation must stay south of the yellow-buoy line inside the kite zone
- Shared with the windsurfing base; follow the navigation priorities
- Possible stronger flow near the channels, unconfirmed
