Where it is
What we look for at Sunnyvale Baylands Kiting Park
Wind direction
W (270°) → N (360°)
The wind must blow from within this arc. Direction is the same for both wings.
Ideal speed
7–15 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.
Flat, sea-level grass field in the Sunnyvale Baylands used for kiting and ground handling, not soaring - there's no terrain to ridge-soar, so you just face into the wind. Mornings are light or variable, building to a NW-W Bay sea breeze in the afternoon (the best steady-practice window). Smooth grass with no rotor or blowback, but the afternoon breeze can ramp up strong and gusty. Shared public park with kite flyers and RC aircraft.
