BARASSIE · HOMESPOT WX
FORECAST THE WIND. READ THE WATER.
A decision page for Barassie, Troon South and Ardeer: is it worth riding, does the selected beach fit the wind, and when is the next useful window?
QUICK ANSWER
What does HomeSpot WX do?
HomeSpot WX is a decision page, not just a forecast. Choose Barassie, Troon South or Ardeer and the same 70/30 effective-wind rules, direction safety gate and beach geometry are applied to that location.
DECISION FIRST
KITESURFING STATUS.
Direction is always part of the decision. NNE through ESE is a hard east-sector no-go regardless of wind strength.
MISERABLE≤12 mphToo light to ride.
HOPEFUL13–18 mphGetting there.
HAPPY19–28 mphGreat riding conditions.
EXCITED29–35 mphPowered up.
ECSTATIC36+ mphFull power.
10 m model wind.
10 m model gust.
70% sustained + 30% gust.
Used for status and spot fit.
NEXT 9 HOURS
THE WINDOW.
The near-term model translated through the same riding rules as the main status.
LOOK AHEAD · SIX DAYS
PLAN THE NEXT SESSION.
Each day selects the strongest useful window for the beach you selected, with direction safety applied before wind strength.
Weather decision rules
Effective kite wind = 70% sustained + 30% gust. ≤12 mph Miserable; 13–18 Hopeful; 19–28 Happy; 29–35 Excited; 36+ Ecstatic. East-sector directions NNE, NE, ENE, E and ESE force Miserable. W through N remains the primary Barassie window; WSW through S remains the primary Troon South window. Ardeer is modelled separately as a WSW-facing beach, using its own forecast point and EGPK / Met Office observed references rather than treating Barassie BeachStats as Ardeer truth.
Forecasts are decision support, not a substitute for reading the beach, sea state, local hazards and actual wind when you arrive.

WHAT THE BEACH IS ACTUALLY DOING.
Forecast shows what may happen. The observed layer shows what Barassie is actually doing and stays separate from the Open-Meteo model.

Good window? Turn it into a ride plan.
Weather tells you what the coast may offer. Plan combines that with spot geometry, rider setup and your own evidence.
