What we look for at Calabasas

Wind direction

SW (225°) → NW (315°)

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

Ideal speed

7–15 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.

A Santa Monica Mountains site near Mulholland Hwy overlooking Calabasas, flown by Malibu-area pilots on the onshore sea breeze. Large grassy launch and landing fields, but thermals can get strong, so midday can be punchy - an intermediate site. Avoid Santa Ana (offshore NE/E) days, which make it rotor-prone and unflyable. Confirm access and the current wind window with the local Malibu pilots.
