Wind windows can change quickly, but a few cues can help you forecast with confidence. We combine local experience with real-time data to decide when to launch.

1. Start with the pressure gradient

Look at the pressure differential between land and water. A strong gradient suggests steady airflow and fewer gusts.

2. Track thermal build-up

Thermal winds often ramp in the afternoon. Watch temperature swings and the timing of the peak sun hours.

3. Use spot-specific patterns

Each spot behaves differently. Our instructors log wind shifts daily and share micro-forecast notes with riders.

“When the wind lines angle 20 degrees offshore, we switch to the lagoon for smoother sessions.”
