What we look for at Elsinore

Wind direction

NNE (30°) → ENE (70°)

The wind must blow from within this arc. Direction is the same for both wings.

Ideal speed

6–10 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.

Lake Elsinore, CA. Ideal NE; works E-NE (N tolerable). Technical site. "Tuck Zone" rotor on S side of ridge in N flow; lee-side danger if launching late as W convergence arrives midday. E launch tiny (better HG); use Edwards bowl in Santa Ana. Natl Forest pass to park.
