What we look for at Tumwater Mountain

Wind direction

ENE (70°) → SSE (160°)

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

Ideal speed

3–12 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.
