Where it is
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.
