Log your sessions; that is how Windulu gets to know you.
The advice is a tool. You remain responsible for your own safety.
At Navene, north of Malcesine, the kite club runs the only strip in Malcesine from which you may launch a kite from the beach, on a concession from the town, and according to the club there is little room to launch. According to the club the spot only works in the Ora, the thermal afternoon wind from the south that usually averages 14 to 18 knots, so outside south-south-east to south-south-west Windulu gives a no-go, even in an onshore westerly. The shore faces west-north-west, so a south-south-westerly blows cross-shore and due south already comes in side-off, and then Windulu gives marginal at best. Tide plays no part on the lake. The live data comes from Meteotrentino in Torbole, 8.6 kilometres to the north and 90 metres up, every 15 minutes, so it mainly tells you how the wind is blowing at the northern end of the lake.
Kiting from the shore only from the kite club's strip at Navene, on a concession from the municipality of Malcesine, for members with level 3 and third-party liability insurance; according to the club the spot only works in a southerly (Ora). From 15 May to 15 October not within 300 m of the shore outside the launch corridor, and never from sunset to sunrise.

The open water at Malcesine (Navene) faces WNW (294°). The safest wind directions to get on the water here are north, southwest, west and northwest (onshore or cross-onshore). With the wind from the northeast, east, southeast and south, it runs cross to cross-offshore: doable, but mind your position and don't go alone.
