No explicit club/USHPA site guide or pilot-report wind data found for an "El Jardin Park" free-flight launch. Searches of the Houston Hang & Paragliding club (houstonhangparagliding.org), paraglidingearth.com, siteguide.app, and hanggliding.org forums returned no entry for this site. Coordinates (29.5972, -94.9873) place it on the EAST shore of Galveston Bay near Beach City/Cove, TX, at ~16 ft MSL — essentially flat. This is consistent with a low coastal dune/levee or sea-breeze ridge-soaring setup rather than a mountain launch. Wind window inferred purely from the paraglidingEarth orientation hint (E, SE, S octants ~90-180 deg), centered on SE for the ideal onshore band; marginal arc widened to the cross edges. Speeds are generic coastal soaring estimates (PG ridge soaring typically wants ~8-15 mph at a low dune, less if any actual relief is minimal). HAZARDS/UNKNOWNS: with only 16 ft of elevation, sustainable soaring lift is questionable — this may be primarily a sea-breeze/training or powered-paragliding (PPG) area rather than a foot-launch free-flight ridge; verify locally. Watch for sea-breeze overdevelopment, gusty thermic conditions inland of the bay, power lines and residential development on the east-bay shore, and water/landing hazards downwind. Best window is typically the steady afternoon sea breeze. Confirm access, rating requirements, and that the site is actually flyable for free flight with the local Houston club before relying on this data.
