No dedicated club/USHPA site guide with explicit wind numbers was found for "Point Mugu" as a free-flight launch; values below are inferred from the paraglidingEarth orientation hint (SW, W) plus general coastal ridge-soaring knowledge. The location (~34.1055, -119.07, ~955 ft) is a coastal ridge/bluff in the western Santa Monica Mountains near Mugu Rock, Ventura County, fronting the Pacific. As a SW/W-facing coastal site it works on the prevailing onshore sea breeze: best in WSW-to-W flow (~225-270 deg), with marginal/cross conditions toward the SSW and WNW (~200-290 deg). Coastal soaring typically wants a steady ~8-15 mph onshore wind; above ~18 mph base or gusts over ~22 mph it becomes overpowering for paragliders. Hazards/cautions: this is immediately adjacent to Naval Base Ventura County / NAS Point Mugu (KNTD) restricted/controlled airspace and an active military range, so legal launch/landing access is questionable and likely requires local club knowledge or permission. Typical coastal-ridge concerns apply: marine layer/fog (often clears by midday), afternoon sea-breeze build, rotor/turbulence on the lee side if wind goes offshore (N/NE), and venturi/compression along the bluffs. Best window is generally late morning to afternoon once the onshore gradient fills in and any fog burns off. Verify rating/access with a local Southern California free-flight pilot before flying.
