What we look for at Long Pool

Wind direction

WNW (285°) → NNW (345°)

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

Ideal speed

8–15 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, steep roll-off ridge/training launch on the Big Piney near Hector, working best in NW wind (roughly WNW to N). The LZ sits directly below launch, so it's low-commitment but leaves little room if things go wrong — be set before you commit. Best in steady, laminar conditions; avoid strong or gusty fronts.
