Log your sessions; that is how Windulu gets to know you.
The advice is a tool. You remain responsible for your own safety.
On Lake Ägeri the Zug cantonal ordinance designates a single place where you may launch and land a kite, at Naas, and there too you take the shortest route at right angles to the shore. The lake lies at 724 metres and the shore faces west, so west-south-west to west-north-west is onshore and south-west and north-west come in side-on, while north and south blow cross-shore and north-east and south-east already come side-off the land. In an easterly you are blown towards the far shore, and then Windulu gives a warning instead of a no-go. Kitesurfing is only allowed from 8 am to 9 pm, and outside those hours Windulu gives a no-go. Tide plays no part on the lake. The live data comes every ten minutes, gusts included, from MeteoSwiss at Oberägeri, 2.7 kilometres to the north and at the same height as the lake.
On Lake Ägeri, launch and land only at the Naas campsite, taking the shortest route at right angles to the shore. Otherwise keep 150 m from the shore, jetties, boats and bathing areas, and 300 m from nature reserves. Only from 8 am to 9 pm. Source: Kanton Zug, BGS 753.5.
The open water at Ägerisee (Naas) faces W (266°). The safest wind directions to get on the water here are southwest, west and northwest (onshore or cross-onshore). With the wind from the north, northeast, east, southeast and south, it runs cross to cross-offshore: doable, but mind your position and don't go alone.
