No club/USHPA/site guide documents Point Possession Bluffs as a free-flight launch; it appears only as a Windfinder coastal wind/tide forecast point on the Kenai Peninsula across Cook Inlet from Anchorage (low elevation, ~98 ft MSL). Wind window is INFERRED from the paraglidingEarth orientation hint (NE, E octants) and general low coastal-bluff soaring knowledge, NOT from documented site data. Ideal arc ~NE through E (35-100 deg, wind FROM), where onshore flow off Cook Inlet/Turnagain Arm would hit the bluff face for ridge/dune soaring; marginal cross conditions on the NNE and ESE edges (15-125 deg). As a low ridge it likely needs a steady, fairly straight-on onshore breeze (~8-18 mph) to soar; too light won't lift, and on a low feature it can blow back / over the top above ~20-25 mph. Hazards to assume: strong tidal/sea breeze cycles and notorious Cook Inlet mudflats (extreme tides, soft mud is dangerous to land/walk on), remote access (no road; typically boat/plane/ATV from the Anchorage side), possible rotor/turbulence if upper winds differ from surface onshore flow, and cold/variable Alaska coastal weather. Best in a stable onshore sea-breeze on a fair-weather day. Rating/access unknown - treat as unverified; confirm with Arctic Air Walkers (Anchorage USHPA chapter) before flying. All numbers are estimates.
