The full conditions bundle for a named spot: current waves (ft, s, deg FROM), wind (kt), tide (ft MLLW), water temp (F), activity scores with reasons, 7-day hourly forecast, hi/lo tides, best windows, NWS alerts, rip/red tide/bacteria hazards, lightning and an AI briefing. Kitesurf: kiteboarding contains rider-specific weather screening and unverified launch status; supply kiteStyle, kiteExperience, kiteMinWindKt and kiteMaxWindKt. No overall kite score or verified launch is implied. Activities: kite, surf, skim (flatland), skim-wave (wave riding), paddle (flatwater paddleboard), sup-surf (SUP surf). Skim scores are absent without shoreline observations; do not substitute other activity scores. Prefer view=summary unless you need every hour. boat=<id> adds boat-specific chop comfort. For an arbitrary lat/lon use get_point_conditions. Start here for a current spot question with view=summary: this single result includes forecast, tides, scores, advisories, hazards, lightning and source status. Avoid duplicate hazard/tide calls unless a needed detail is absent. For beach questions, sea-model wave heights and NWS breaking-surf heights measure different things; their difference alone is not a forecast conflict. A swim no-go must not be followed by a recommendation to wade. Interpretation: omit boat unless the user supplied or confirmed it. Describe lightning as flashes observed or not detected in the stated window, never a clear/safe guarantee. Report unavailable/QC-failed sources even when freshness.stale=false; fresh does not mean every source is usable. Model sea height is not breaking surf height. Tide heights at different local MLLW gauges do not establish relative channel depths. High tide is not necessarily slack current. For kitesurfing use get_conditions with kiteStyle (freeride/waves/foil), kiteExperience and rider-supplied kiteMinWindKt/kiteMaxWindKt. Read kiteboarding for weather screening, gust spread and explicitly unverified launch status. Never infer the rider wind range, legal launch access or rescue coverage. Activity keys: kite, surf, skim (flatland), skim-wave (wave riding), paddle (flatwater paddleboard), sup-surf (SUP surf). Skim suitability is unscored without shoreline observations; missing scores must not inherit another activity. Offshore wind can favor surf while increasing paddleboard drift risk. A point depth cannot prove route clearance. Do not invent detection percentages, future readings, vessel ownership, or app settings instructions. Units: ft, kt, s, F, mi; directions FROM. Returns data and source/freshness metadata.
