Log your sessions; that is how Windulu gets to know you.
The advice is a tool. You remain responsible for your own safety.
According to the canton of Uri, the delta north of the Isenthalerbach at Isleten is the only place on Lake Uri where you may launch and land a kite, and because it is closed from 15 June to 31 August, Windulu closes the spot during those weeks. The shore faces east-north-east, so north-east to east is onshore and south-east comes in side-on, while north and south blow cross-shore along the bank and north-west already comes side-off the land. From south-west to west 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 Altdorf, 4 kilometres to the south-east on the plain of the Reuss.
The only launch site for kitesurfers on Lake Uri is the delta north of the Isenthalerbach at Isleten, and it is closed from 15 June to 31 August inclusive. The Kite Uri association manages the launch site and admits 110 members and 20 day passes. On the water only beyond 150 m from the shore, in the kite zone between the Schiltegg-Gruonbach line and the line at the Rütli, and 200 m from scheduled boats. Only from 8 am to 9 pm in clear visibility. Source: Kanton Uri, KBSV art. 10a and Reglement RB 50.2115.
The open water at Urnersee (Isleten) faces ENE (74°). The safest wind directions to get on the water here are northeast, east and southeast (onshore or cross-onshore). With the wind from the north, south, southwest, west and northwest, it runs cross to cross-offshore: doable, but mind your position and don't go alone.
