Log your sessions; that is how Windulu gets to know you.
The advice is a tool. You remain responsible for your own safety.
Podersdorf am See has one of the four kite zones the Land Burgenland designated on the Neusiedler See: between twenty yellow buoys and the shoreline you may kitesurf within 200 metres of the shore even from 10 May to 20 September, and swimming is prohibited there. The shore faces west-north-west, so west-north-west and north-west are onshore and west and north come in side-on, while south-west and north-east blow cross-shore and south and east already come side-off the land. In a south-easterly you are blown out onto the lake, and because the far side is mostly a reed belt you may not sail through, Windulu then gives a no-go. Tide plays no part, and kitesurfing is only allowed in daylight with good visibility. The GeoSphere Austria station is 1.5 kilometres away and reports the average and the strongest gust every 10 minutes.
Kiting only in daylight and with good visibility. From 10 May to 20 September inclusive kiting within 200 m of the shore is prohibited, except in the kite zone marked with yellow buoys at Podersdorf; swimming is prohibited in that zone. Outside that period it is allowed on the whole lake, but not through the reeds. Source: Land Burgenland, LGBl. 54/2009 as amended by LGBl. 35/2021; Schifffahrtsverordnung § 102.
The open water at Podersdorf am See faces WNW (302°). The safest wind directions to get on the water here are north, west and northwest (onshore or cross-onshore). With the wind from the northeast, east, south and southwest, it runs cross to cross-offshore: doable, but mind your position and don't go alone. With the wind from the southeast, it blows offshore and is dangerous: you'll be pushed off the beach onto open water (no-go).
