Sal, Cape Verde
Flat-water cross-offshore spot at the eastern headland of Baia de Santa Maria; less crowded than Kite Beach. NE trade gusty (passes over the island first); butter-flat lagoon water; expert kiteboarders use it for high-speed runs; not ideal for beginners due to offshore conditions. Intermediate to advanced.

You've already got wind data — the hard part is knowing what it means for you. Most kiters end up checking two, three, four apps and still asking: can I actually go? Breeza was built by a kiter who had the same problem. Feed it your gear, weight and level and it tells you if Ponta Leme is rideable right now. The answer, not the tabs.
