Getting there
local bus to the 455 mile marker on the coastal highway 1 in Fang San. This beach is the LZ.
Weather
In the winter, blows off shore when a front is passing. About 2 days every 10. Check XCskies.com. XCskies' algo's don't reflect the on shore breeze here. So, if XCskies shows the cloud cover is less than 50% and the off shore wind indicates less than 20 kph, from any direction, then the ACTUAL conditions are good for flight.
Comments
It has taken nearly 2 years to get 'off the ground' with the S wind. We have been flying W and NW winds for that long. So, summer will have op'y for XL-ent XC. This has potential to be an all year round training site. 10 flights a day for TO and Lndg training in gentle winds and mild thermal.
