Season from April to October with air from 10-30°C and water from 10-20°C. Wetsuit always recommended. Off-season is possible, but thick wetsuit, mask, shoes and gloves are needed. Although, the shallow water areas are a bit protected from the sea-currents and usually heat up faster in spring. If you're lucky, you'll hit one or two days in a season where surfing in shorts is possible - usually a 2mm shortarm and a 5mm full suit will get you going from end of April to mid November.

Thermal and Frontal wind

Since there's a well protected shallow area, it's possible to kite in slightly offshore winds. Orth has a small harbor for fishers and boats going and coming quite frequently, and most of the fishers already know how to rescue a kitesurfer (but mostly they will tow you into the shallow area, tangling your lines). Best directions is East and South, SW and SE are acceptable, North is dead offshore and West very gusty. In summer, you might find island related thermal effects that kick in around 4pm and get you going on a 20m. Since the shore has a 90° angle more wind directions work.
