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.

„Tusim, ze je potreba mit potvrzeny independent level v IKO, ted jsem to nekomu kvuli Garde doplnovala nedavno.“
„Prakticky se ale domluvis s mistni skolou na kite lift a je to. Ja jezdil napr. s Wind Academy v Navenea bylo to fajn.“
