What we look for at Point Mugu
Wind direction
SW (225°) → W (270°)
The wind must blow from within this arc. Direction is the same for both wings.
Ideal speed
8–15 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.
Coastal ridge/bluff in the western Santa Monica Mountains near Mugu Rock (~955 ft), fronting the Pacific. As a SW/W-facing site it works on the onshore sea breeze, best in WSW-to-W flow around 8-15 mph; watch for marine layer, afternoon build, and lee turbulence if the wind goes offshore. Sits right against Naval Base Ventura County / NAS Point Mugu restricted airspace, so legal launch/landing access is questionable - confirm with a local SoCal pilot before flying.
