Sunnyvale Baylands Kiting Park

• Wind directionW (270°) → N (360°)
• Ideal speed7–15 mph
• Upper limits≤ 18 mph base · gusts ≤ 22

This is a flat-ground KITING / GROUND-HANDLING park at sea level (-3 ft MSL) in the Sunnyvale Baylands, NOT a soaring launch — there is no terrain to ridge-soar, so pilots simply face into whatever wind is blowing. As such, any wind direction is technically "workable" for kiting; the N/W/NW orientation hint reflects the dominant usable winds, which are the Bay sea-breeze. Typical pattern: light/variable or light S in the morning, building to a NW–W onshore sea-breeze (roughly 290–340 deg) through the afternoon. Stated ideal arc (270–360, W to N) and marginal arc (225–360, SW through N) are inferred from the prevailing breeze and orientation hint, not from a published club guide. Ideal kiting wind ~7–15 mph; flat smooth grass means anything up to ~18 mph base / ~22 mph gust is handleable by experienced pilots but gets sporty. No rotor or blowback cliff hazard (flat open field), but note the afternoon sea-breeze can ramp quickly and become gusty/strong by late afternoon — watch for over-strong conditions. Open grassy public park used by kite flyers and RC aircraft; share space and avoid crowds. No specific paraglidingEarth/USHPA/club numeric wind window was found for this exact spot — verify locally with Bay Area paragliding instructors (e.g. Airtime/paragliding-lessons.com) who use Bay kiting fields. Best wind for steady practice is mid-to-late afternoon when the onshore breeze is established.
