Wind

Heads up: this is a thermal spot: the wind comes from the land heating up during the day. Thermal wind usually doesn't show up on the forecast and in stats as they're fairly local. The windy days include our modelled thermal days that should be sufficient to kite. The average wind speeds don't include the thermal, so expect more wind than they show.
