Forecast and webcams

Before you go

Forecasts often disagree. When Windguru, ALADIN and Windy agree, it is worth going.

Tips for this spot

Offshore wind carries you away from land. Do not ride it without a rescue boat.
When a storm is coming, get out of the water and land the kite at once. Gusts before a storm are violent and a kite overhead is the highest point around.
New spot: ask locals about shallows, currents and where people launch.

In riders' own words

„Začíná období východních větrů... Dehtář - špatná volba, ale lokálové tam jezdí.“
„občas tu fouká brutal z hor“
„Nefunkční meteostanice z Dehtáře byla demontována“
