No dedicated club/USHPA site guide with explicit wind numbers was found for Thomas Mt (searched SDHGPA, Crestline Soaring Society, paraglidingEarth, paraglidingmap, XContest, Wilder Adventures). Arc and speeds INFERRED from the paraglidingEarth orientation hint (S/SW/W octants) plus general high-desert mountain-launch knowledge. Thomas Mtn (Riverside County, ~6815 ft summit; this launch at 5827 ft) forms the north boundary of Anza Valley, with the launch flank facing roughly SW toward the open Anza/Garner Valley flats — so SW-W is the on-flow ideal, with S as the cross/marginal edge and WNW the other marginal edge. Likely a thermic/soarable high-desert site best flown when valley winds are light-to-moderate; mid-morning to early afternoon for thermals, before afternoon overdevelopment/strong valley wind. Hazards typical of inland mountain sites: lee-side rotor if wind clocks N/NE/E (off the back, do not fly), strong afternoon valley wind acceleration and gust spread, and high density altitude at ~5800 ft affecting wing performance/launch run. Rating/access unknown — likely P3+/H3 backcountry with a dirt-road (Thomas Mtn / Forest Route 6S13) drive-up; confirm permission, road conditions, and current site rules with local SoCal pilots (SDHGPA/Soboba area) before flying. Treat all numbers as rough placeholders pending a real site guide.
