PREVIEW — Next Day

March 4, 2026 Preview — � KITESURFING: GOOD

🟢 TOMORROW: Good kiting conditions — ENE trades with thermal boost

Strong trades currently 17.5kts steady / 22kts gusts (1.25x) should persist through tomorrow’s session. Expect typical trade pattern: building from 15kts at noon to peak 19kts/26g by 2-3pm, then gradual taper.

Wind trajectory: Morning starts light at 10kts, becomes rideable by noon (17kts), peaks 1-3pm around 19kts steady / 24kts gusts. ENE direction favors side-onshore delivery — good angle for kiting and downwind runs. Synoptic base holding steady at 15kts with thermal adding 3-4kts during peak hours.

Waves: Epic foil conditions — 1.6m windswell @ 6s from ENE creates organized bumps for downwinding. Plus 0.9m groundswell @ 12s from NNW adds texture. Note: New swell incoming at outer buoys (1.4m detected) — arrival timing uncertain but likely overnight.

Equipment: 2.2m kite, 24m lines, HA780 front wing, Glide220 tail. Kite/lines sized for 24kt gusts, front wing for 17kt steady to maintain lift in lulls. Standard 85cm mast — reef depth 114-139cm provides safe clearance through all tide levels.

Session windows:

  • 12-2pm: Building phase, 17kts/23g
  • 1-3pm: Peak window, 19kts/24g
  • 2-4pm: Still powered, 18kts/24g

Watch: Coastal Flood Statement active through 6am — higher than normal water levels. Pressure dropping 1.6mb/3h suggests pattern shift possible. Cloud cover forecast 40-47% during peak — should allow thermal contribution.

Best window 1-3pm for maximum power. Conditions favor both kiting and downwind foiling with quality windswell bumps.
