WEATHER

The steep cliff lower down on this site creates a wind gradient that can mask the true wind strength. After taking off pilots find themselves climbing into the stronger wind and struggling to push forward. Over the back on this site is a sheer cliffwith serious rotor. Don't get blown over the back! If you do the onlygood news is that you'll be over water, everything else is bad. There is also sometimes severe compression out on the point. Don't fly this site when the wind is from the West of South as the landing on the beach is in the lee of the pine trees. A single strand power line runs out to the pool.
