What we look for here
  • Wind directionSSW (202°) → WSW (247°)
  • Ideal speed6–15 mph
  • Upper limits≤ 18 mph base · gusts ≤ 22

CLOSED / private site (listed as "Buda" among closed sites in the SDHGPA site guide), in San Diego County near San Marcos/Escondido at ~1506 ft MSL. No published club/USHPA wind numbers were found. Wind arc is inferred from the SW orientation hint: ideal wind FROM the SW (~202-247 deg, centered ~225), marginal/cross edges into S (180) and W (270). Speed ranges are general SoCal inland thermic-soaring estimates (ideal ~6-15 mph, max usable base ~18 mph, max gust ~22 mph) and are NOT site-specific. Because the site is closed, access is not permitted without prior arrangement/permission. Inland San Diego sites can be thermic and overdevelop midday; mornings/late afternoons are typically smoother. Treat all figures as low-confidence placeholders and confirm with a local SDHGPA pilot before relying on them.
