What we look for at Tierra Del Mar

Wind direction

WSW (250°) → WNW (290°)

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

Ideal speed

12–20 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.

Low west-facing beach/dune soaring site just north of Pacific City near Cape Kiwanda. Works on an onshore W sea breeze straight into the dune; the lift band is shallow and low so there's little margin on light gear. Best in the afternoon once the sea-breeze cycle is established. Popular beginner/teaching dune used by local schools; watch beach obstacles and cross wind toward S or N.
