Wetter

The site should not be flown in a southerly flow by student or novice pilots as there is a ridge up wind that can throw off nasty stuff in the LZ. The site is home to some rather scrappy thermal release on hot days at mid day.

This site provides thermic flying but only before the sea breeze kicks in. Then it becomes broken. The sea breeze usually arrives by 11am.
