Log your sessions; that is how Windulu gets to know you.
The advice is a tool. You remain responsible for your own safety.
In Lacanau, kiting is only allowed in the 1,000 m kite zone at Super-Sud (800 m south and 200 m north of the southern edge of the lifeguarded zone); kitesurfing is banned on all other beaches. Outside kite zones and kite lanes, a 5-knot speed limit applies within 300 m of the shoreline. Source: préfet maritime 2005/024, Lacanau AR2026-0461.
The open water at Lacanau (Super-Sud) faces W (276°). 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, southeast and south, it runs cross to cross-offshore: doable, but mind your position and don't go alone. With the wind from the east, it blows offshore and is dangerous: you'll be pushed off the beach onto open water (no-go).
