What we look for at Oakley (Kamas Valley)

Wind direction

WSW (240°) → WNW (300°)

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

Ideal speed

5–12 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.

West-facing foothill launch in the Kamas Valley on the Wasatch Back, high elevation (~7,800 ft). No club or USHPA site guide with documented numbers exists, so the wind window here is an estimate — treat it as a thermic mountain site: keep base wind modest, expect afternoon overdevelopment and possible leeside rotor, and verify access, LZ, and current conditions with local pilots before flying.
