SE Launch Window
Rough Cleared Launch Window
Best to wait for wind to cycle around to SW Window. This typicaly hapens once the face heats up enough to sustain thermal flight.
However there are days were the SE window is required even with peak heating of the day. Typicaly on light Santa Ana days.

Active Launch Windows
Active Launch Windows:
Use mountain etiquette and do not setup in the Active Launch Windows. Only enter the Launch Windows with your gear if and when you are ready and intending to launch. If in Launch Windows or Top landing Approach areas, be cautious and aware of flight activities in all directions.
