No club/USHPA guide with explicit numbers was found for this specific "Hidden Valley" launch. Coordinates (33.5019, -117.298, ~2116 ft) place it in the De Luz hills southwest of Temecula, on the Riverside/San Diego county line — small inland thermic/ridge site terrain. Window is INFERRED from the paraglidingEarth orientation hint (working octants SE, S, SW). Ideal arc centered on a S/SSW-facing slope (~157-225 deg, wind FROM); marginal/cross edges run out to the SE (~112) and SW (~247) corners. As a low-elevation inland SoCal site, treat it as a light-wind thermal/soaring launch: best flown morning glass-off or on light, clean S-SW flow; thermic midday cycles can make conditions punchy. Likely hazards typical of such sites: lee-side rotor and turbulence when wind backs to W/NW or veers E, sink/venturi in the valleys, and overdevelopment/strong thermals on hot afternoons. Avoid strong onshore/W push and any N-component (lee) wind. Treat speeds above ~15 mph base or gusts above ~18 mph as no-go without local confirmation. Rating/access unknown — verify launch permission, LZ, and current conditions with local pilots (SoCal XC League / San Diego or local Temecula-area PG community) before flying. All numeric values are best-guess defaults pending an authoritative site guide.
