What we look for at Callisto Launch

Wind direction

SE (135°) → SW (225°)

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

Ideal speed

5–14 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.

Foothill paragliding launch west of Hood Canal near Brinnon (~2600 ft), facing the valley on a southerly component (SE through SW). Anything with a north, east, or west component is likely leeside. Expect midday thermal and valley-wind cycles and possible summer overdevelopment near the Olympics. No club site guide found, so confirm access, rating, and conditions with local PNW pilots before flying.
