It is NOT advisable to takeoff at Winkipop in a light wind. There is NO beach ... EVER!
Southside: SSE-SSW, PG only. Park at Southside carpark and take the track at the end of the carpark. Setup and launch from the astroturf area only. Due to the cliff edge, this takeoff can be tricky for hang gliders.
Jarosite: E-SE. To get to this launch, drive west past the Southside carpark turnoff for about 400 m until you see a dirt turnout with a walking track. Follow the track until you come to a meeting of five tracks. Take the leftmost one to launch. It's a fair way if you're carrying a hang glider, and the only reason to launch the HG here is if it's too light to safely launch at Winki.
PG: At Southside, beware of beach landings at high and low tides. Top landings are achievable in the large clear area at the top of the cliffs some 400m to the south of takeoff but the brush can be quite deep. Do not land on Pt Addis ever. Landings can be made to the North at Jan Juc beach.
