What we look for at Hidden Valley

Wind direction

SSE (157°) → SW (225°)

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

Ideal speed

5–13 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.

Small inland thermal/ridge site in the De Luz hills southwest of Temecula (~2,100 ft), on a S/SSW-facing slope. Best flown on light, clean S-SW flow in the morning glass-off; midday cycles get punchy and any N-component wind puts launch in the lee. No published site guide — verify launch permission, LZ, and conditions with local SoCal pilots first.
