DESCRIPTION

Normally a beginner site, beware of wind shear from lower layer of air from the ocean.

WEATHER

The conditions are most reliable from fall through spring. It is usually too foggy to fly at Big Sur during the summer. Conditions for soaring are best between Christmas and Martin Luther King's birthday. You can typically count on having a beautiful, smooth sled ride, but soaring flights can be had on pre- and post-frontal days.
