What we look for at Laguna

Wind direction

NE (45°) → E (90°)

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

Ideal speed

4–8 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.

East-facing escarpment above the desert near Mount Laguna (SDHGPA) — a premier thermal/convergence XC site ("mini Owens"), 100+ mi possible. Works on an easterly wind, ideal NE-E (45-90), light: PG around 7 mph, HG to ~12. Conditions change fast and the only LZ is a 45-min drive down to the desert floor, so a driver is required. Afternoons can blow down from the west, and Santa Ana events bring dangerous strong east winds with little warning. H3+/P4 (or P3+ supervised). Sensitive permit site: fly only with an active SDHGPA member and a full briefing; SDHGPA + USHPA required.
