Where it is
What we look for at Rubidoux - The Rock
Wind direction
SW (225°) → WNW (293°)
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.
Mount Rubidoux, a small ~1,180 ft boulder hill in Riverside - a low ridge-soaring / kiting / training-style hill rather than a thermal site. Works on the afternoon westerly sea breeze into the W-facing side, light to moderate only; outside the SW-to-NW arc the lee side makes it unflyable. Small public park, so confirm current access and rating expectations with local pilots before flying.
