Intro lessons need 6+ mph, beginning lessons need 10+ mph, intermediate and advanced need 12+ mph.   We operate daily by reservation all year. Note from the wind graph below shows we have >15mph about 80% of days most of the year. Please note that forecasts tend to under report and should not be relied upon. If the wind is poor we text you that morning. It’s better to book and hold a spot than to miss the wind. When planning please note that mid Feb to mid Oct is quite reliable, Nov-Jan is not reliable for water lessons but ok most days for beginner kite lessons on the sunny beach. Current wind and forecasts seen below. Also current direction and forecasted direction (SW is ideal).
