No club/USHPA site guide with explicit wind numbers was found for this exact launch. "Rainbow Valley - South Bullard" sits at only ~984 ft MSL in the flat Rainbow Valley desert basin SW of Goodyear/Buckeye, AZ — a low desert relief feature (small hill/butte), not the 7,847 ft Bullard Peak elsewhere in AZ. Arc is INFERRED from the paraglidingEarth orientation hint (working octants N, NE, NW), centered on a north-facing launch: ideal core ~320-040 deg (NW-N-NE), marginal cross/edge ~290-070. Desert ridge-soaring values are general estimates: ideal ~7-15 mph, max base ~18 mph, gusts to ~22 mph; lighter for PG. HAZARDS/CAUTIONS (general AZ low-desert soaring): strong midday thermal cycles and dust devils; rapid afternoon overdevelopment of valley wind/thermals can make conditions punchy; best smooth soaring typically early morning or evening glass-off when the gradient is light and laminar. Low relief means a limited soarable band and easy blow-back if wind exceeds glider trim/penetration — keep speed conservative. Verify on site and confirm access/rating with AZHPA (azhpa.org) before flying; could not confirm site rating or access restrictions.
