What we look for at Deerfield Beach

Wind direction

ENE (60°) → ESE (120°)

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

Ideal speed

10–16 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.

Atlantic beachfront condo-soaring site between Deerfield Beach and Boca Raton, where the line of oceanfront condo towers acts as the ridge. Works on a steady onshore easterly sea breeze, best around due east with NE through SE usable. Advanced, local-knowledge terrain: a narrow lift band, rotor in the gaps between and behind buildings, a fishing pier, power lines, and beachgoers below. Locals hand-tow when it's too light to soar the condos; no formal USHPA ratings posted.
