What we look for at Hot Springs

Wind direction

NW (320°) → NNE (20°)

The wind must blow from within this arc. Direction is the same for both wings.

Ideal speed

6–15 mph

Ceiling · Paragliding

≤ 19 mph base · gusts ≤ 23

Top of the range for paragliding (any rating). Switch wings up top to compare. Hang gliders hold roughly 10 mph more than paragliders.

Small low-relief ridge-soaring/training hill near Hot Springs, best in light N to NW wind. Only about 70 ft of vertical, so keep it to light, smooth conditions and avoid any cross or lee component that would put launch in rotor. Reported as a private site requiring prior landowner permission — confirm access before going.
