What we look for at Avenue S

Wind direction

N (0°) → ENE (60°)

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

Ideal speed

7–15 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.

North/northeast-facing foothill on the south edge of the Antelope Valley east of Lancaster/Pearblossom (~4,500 ft). Listed as an old Sylmar HGA site, but the site-guide page is gone and no current numbers were found — the NNE window here is inferred, not verified. Mojave desert thermals get strong and rough midday, so morning or late afternoon is smoother; watch for lee rotor if the flow turns S/SW. Confirm rating, landowner access, and current status with the local club before flying.
