Infinity Sport’s mobile training ground on the south Kent coast — suited for mid-tide coaching with deeper water access for hydrofoil progression. Very broad wind arc (S, SW, SE, E, NE, N). W is a no-go. Kiting is not advised 3 hours either side of HW; wing/hydrofoil is best within 2 hours after HW. Public beach users have priority — no kiting past the coffee van. Beware submerged groynes at high tide. Parking, toilets, shower, and a coffee van on site at St Mary’s Bay. The village of Dymchurch is a short walk north with shops, cafes, and The Ship Inn. School: Infinity Sport Kitesurfing.
Public-model blend: Met Office UKV 2km (direct), Met Office Global 10km (direct), AROME-FR, IFS-HRES, ICON, GFS (via Open-Meteo) and MET Norway, averaged across every model that covers each hour, out to day 7; temperature from the Met Office feeds

🧭 Wind directions
Dymchurch/St Mary's Bay, Romney Marsh, faces ~SSE. Working S/SW/SE/E; N is side-off (cross-offshore) — Infinity Sport school provides safety cover for the marginal directions here. W is offshore over the Marsh.
green = works (brightest = side-on) · blue = cross-shore · orange = side-off / unproven (care) · red = offshore, never · grey = excluded locally
Next 7 days at St Mary’s Bay / DymchurchBest of the week: Mon 26 Oct, ~21 kt around 12:00–15:00 BST (GOOD — the 9 m sweet spot) — very gusty (+12 kt), hard work, good kiters only. Lighter option: Tue 27 Oct ~24 kt — GOOD — the 9 m sweet spot. Models diverge on Monday: UKV 15 kt vs AROME 22 kt — lower confidence; lead model here is UKV 2km, check both before driving.
Windguru forecast
7-day forecast
Wind scale:<1010–1112–1314–1516–1920–2930+ kt ⚠
Public-model blend, for the full 7 days: The Met Office UKV 2km and Global 10km runs are read directly from the Met Office open-data feeds; AROME-FR 1.3km, IFS-HRES 9km, ICON and GFS come via Open-Meteo, plus MET Norway. Direction is a circular mean; gusts average only the models that publish an hourly-maximum gust. These numbers are raw model output with no coastal correction, so in the same weather they can read a little lighter than a coastally-corrected forecast — treat them as a floor rather than a ceiling. Temperature is from the Met Office runs (interpolated between 3-hourly steps on later days). No sea-state data is available. Tides from UKHO Admiralty (BST, 7-day window). The Windguru widget above is the unmodified Windguru forecast and is a useful cross-check.
Brief peak — under the 2-hour session rule. ~15 kt WSW in the tide window but the ≥15 kt stretch lasts under 2 hours — not a full session for a long drive; locals already nearby might grab it. ★ Gets dark at 17:53 — almost none of this window is in daylight.
Confidence: could go either way — 51% chance of 12 kt+ in the window · Met Office ensemble, next 54 h
Best window detail — 14:11–16:45 BST (UKV 2km hourly)
Hourly UKV 2km wind for the 2-hour tide window (★) plus an hour either side, averaging ~19 kt in the low-tide window.
Good session — ~19 kt SW in the green window (15:00–17:51 BST). Working direction (SW) with ~19 kt for 6 h inside the tide window (14:55–20:55 BST around the low tide). GOOD — the 9 m sweet spot. ★ Gets dark at 17:51 — window trimmed to daylight (15:00–17:51 BST); the wind carries on past sunset if you are happy riding into dusk.
Confidence: could go either way — 70% chance of 15 kt+ in the window; 42% it reaches the 9–12 m sweet spot · Met Office ensemble, next 54 h
Best window detail — 14:54–16:43 BST (UKV 2km hourly)
Hourly UKV 2km wind for the 2-hour tide window (★) plus an hour either side, averaging ~21 kt in the low-tide window.
Runs out of daylight — ~23 kt SSW. Working direction (SSW) with ~23 kt for 5 h inside the tide window (05:00–09:10 BST around the low tide). GOOD — the 9 m sweet spot. Early-bird window (low water before 08:30) — fine if you can get there, but on the early side for most. ★ Gets dark at 17:49 — almost none of this window is in daylight.
Best window detail — 06:40–09:11 BST (UKV 2km hourly)
Hourly UKV 2km wind for the 2-hour tide window (★) plus an hour either side, averaging ~24 kt in the low-tide window. Early-bird session — on the water near sunrise; allow ~2 h for the drive.
Pick a past day to compare three things: the forecast we published (frozen before each hour, never revised afterwards), the wind that actually happened (Open-Meteo reanalysis, hours 05:00–21:00 UK), and what the live weather stations near the spot actually recorded (amber, from 2 Aug 2026). You can go right up to today — today shows the forecast and the live stations; the reanalysis for today lands tomorrow morning.
Important: Forecasts are model-derived and may change. Always verify on Windguru and check local tide tables before you go. LKSA accepts no liability for decisions made based on this forecast.
