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.
