Log your sessions; that is how Windulu gets to know you.
The advice is a tool. You remain responsible for your own safety.
Silvaplana lies at 1791 metres in the Engadine, and the municipality gives kitesurfers a launch and landing zone at Mulets. The shore faces south-south-east, so south-east to south is onshore and south-west, the best direction according to the municipality, comes in side-on, while west and east blow cross-shore. The municipality calls the Julier wind from the west-north-west dangerous, because it is gusty and offshore, and Windulu counts it as side-off. From north-west to north you are blown towards the far shore, and then Windulu gives a warning instead of a no-go. Tide plays no part, and kitesurfing is only allowed from 8 am to 9 pm, so outside those hours Windulu gives a no-go. The live data comes every ten minutes, gusts included, from MeteoSwiss at Segl-Maria, 3.6 kilometres to the south-west, and on windy summer afternoons in 2026 the MeteoSwiss ICON model came out about 3 knots below the measured wind there.
Kitesurf only from the marked launch and landing zone at Mulets, not in the windsurfing zone with yellow buoys; use the 30 m shore strip only to launch and land. The municipality requires a membership fee to Swiss Kitesurf. Kitesurfing is prohibited on the Lej da Champfèr and the Lej Suot; do not launch or land from the Sils shore, keep 50 m from that shore, and only ride on the Sils part from the second weekend in June. Only from 8 am to 9 pm. Source: Gemeinde Silvaplana, Verordnung über die Schifffahrt (2007); Gemeinde Sils (2016); BSV art. 54.
The open water at Silvaplana (Mulets) faces SSE (161°). The safest wind directions to get on the water here are southeast, south and southwest (onshore or cross-onshore). With the wind from the north, northeast, east, west and northwest, it runs cross to cross-offshore: doable, but mind your position and don't go alone.
