It's always hard to pick the right day... So I'll keep it open. If you plan on trying it out... having a look at some of the info below will help you to become more familiar with the kite in advance and can make the SA2 safer and more fun to fly...
The SA2 is currently the lightest wind kite in the world. It will pull the most in light wind and will fly in the lightest wind.
This kite could be great for those days, weekends when the wind is low or just when the forecast did not happen and we usually end up waiting around on the beach to be skunked.
I've see many Ashbridges bay days like this... Keswick and Cherry as well.
Not sure if we could all match this guy... But sure could be fun trying.

WOW! I just flew this SA2 at Ash today... Beach test and water super light... This is the easiest kite to keep in the air that I've ever flown... Self launch and land as well... Did the baby finger test. It was a different kind of day... (quiet no flapping) dreamy, like be hooked up to a cloud, especially with the kite being silver white. One of the guys tried it out on the beach... Impressed, stability.
Amazing how I could stay sheeted in on the upstroke... It's so light.
Shows a tricky and easier relaunch. Man this thing floats. Also shows landing holding wingtip
Here's a vid of pulling safety and relaunch... (FLS) Front Line Safety
FDS is similar to as 5th...(FDS) Full Depower Safety Line. An extra line that goes from the bar to the kite... (FLS) is Front Line Safety.
Like the 5th on water kite... It can get in the way at times and require a swim in... Like you said, the 20knt upper range would give a good amount of depower I'd bet and the (FLS) can work well.
Good movie here on it's little heavier sister, speed 2.
