Report of two HG's launching early in the afternoon on Friday. One got a thermal immediately after launch, climbed to 5k and then promptly sank out. A PG launched at 4:15 and got to 6,300ft at 5pm and pulled out of the lift because it was getting too turbulent. He said the higher he got the stronger the lift but also the more turbulent. TODAY…...not your normal Santa Ana. Wind direction is a little too ENE and light. Both blip and rasp are even higher. Kagel is right on the line between ENE and SE. Looks to blow in through the afternoon but the winds aloft  are ENE between 2 and 4 by 2pm. Max altitude 8,500ft.
