Perth kitesurfing forecast.
Wind speed is only half the call. Fathom checks the wind against the way each beach faces, then scores it for kitesurfing, wingfoiling or windsurfing.

What goes into the kite score.
Wind speed and wind direction carry most of the kitesurfing score. Side-shore and side-onshore wind score best. Offshore wind gets the lowest direction score, because it blows you away from the beach.
Swell, tide and temperature are in there too, with much less weight.
The sea breeze, spot by spot.
On a summer afternoon the same sea breeze can be side-on at one beach and straight onshore at the next. Fathom scores each spot on its own angle, so you can compare Safety Bay, Woodman Point and Pinnaroo on the same afternoon.
