Log your sessions; that is how Windulu gets to know you.
The advice is a tool. You remain responsible for your own safety.
Cudrefin lies on the south-eastern shore of Lake Neuchâtel, on the Vaud part, and north-east of the village begins the Fanel-Chablais de Cudrefin bird reserve, where kitesurfing is prohibited under federal law. It is not allowed within 100 metres of the harbour and the landing stage either. The shore faces north-north-west, so north-west to north is onshore and north-east comes in side-on, while east and west blow cross-shore, and in a westerly you then drift towards the reserve. South-west already comes side-off the land, and from south-east to south you are blown out onto the lake and Windulu gives a no-go. Kitesurfing is only allowed from 8 am to 9 pm, and outside those hours Windulu also gives a no-go. Tide plays no part on the lake. The live data comes every ten minutes, gusts included, from MeteoSwiss in Neuchâtel, 6.8 kilometres to the north-west on the far side of the lake.
Kitesurfing is allowed, but not within 100 m of harbours and landing stages, not in zones with yellow buoys and not in the Fanel-Chablais de Cudrefin bird reserve north-east of the village; 200 m from scheduled boats. Only from 8 am to 9 pm. Source: Canton de Vaud, RKite (BLV 747.23.5); OROEM (SR 922.32).
The open water at Cudrefin faces NNW (341°). The safest wind directions to get on the water here are north, northeast and northwest (onshore or cross-onshore). With the wind from the east, southwest and west, it runs cross to cross-offshore: doable, but mind your position and don't go alone. With the wind from the southeast and south, it blows offshore and is dangerous: you'll be pushed off the beach onto open water (no-go).
