Before you launch

• Never kite offshore without rescue support on the water (NSRI).
• Check conditions on arrival: wind strength, direction, gusts, water state, crowds and the launch.
• Nothing on this site means conditions are suitable for you. Ratings, windows and "estimates" are model-based and uncalibrated.
• Observations come from Cape Town International airport, 20 km away and inland, not from the beach.
• Tide predictions are astronomical and not for navigation. Weather can change levels by ±0.3 m.
