What we look for at Comanche

Wind direction

WNW (290°) → NNW (340°)

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

Ideal speed

8–16 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.

NW-facing thermal/XC launch in the Tehachapi/Cameron area on the SW edge of the Mojave. Works best on NW, with N and W going cross. Tehachapi Pass is one of California's windiest corridors, so the prevailing W/NW flow funnels and accelerates and can blow out fast - fly moderate conditions, favor calmer mornings, and watch for lee rotor if the wind backs off-axis. Confirm rating and access with local pilots first.
