  • Upper limits≤ 18 mph base · gusts ≤ 22

No site-specific published wind-window data found. Hokah, MN sits in the Mississippi River bluff country of SE Minnesota, a known ridge-soaring region. paraglidingEarth orientation hint gives S,SW (octants ~180-247 deg). Ideal arc and speeds are inferred from that orientation plus general bluff ridge-soaring norms, NOT from a club/USHPA guide. Marginal arc extended toward SE (~157) and W (~270) as cross/edge limits. Inland continental Midwest bluff: expect a soarable ridge in moderate S/SW flow; watch for thermic/gusty conditions and rotor in lee, and possible turbulence over the river valley. Best in light-to-moderate, smooth flow; avoid strong or gusty wind. Treat as foot-launch, likely advanced/local-knowledge access. Verify wind, rating, and landowner/access with Minnesota Free Flight (mnfreeflight.org) or local pilots before flying.
