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.
