The FAA has issued a TFR for those times shutting down hang gliding and paragliding in the entire Bay Area.

If you're interested, there is more information on the WOR B/B.

snip... an email from the AOPA about a TFR (temporary flight restriction) from the FAA. What it means for us is no Bay Area hang gliding 4:10 p.m. until 7:35 p.m. local Wednesday, Jan. 30, that's tomorrow.

Here is what it looks like on a map:

Tam, Funston, Diablo, Mission and Ed Levin are all inside the TFR.

Here is the AOPA's plain-language explanation:

Which contains the following

Operations not authorized:
Flight training, practice instrument approaches, aerobatic flight, glider, parachute, ultralight, hang gliding, banner towing, agriculture/crop dusting, balloon, animal population control, model aircraft, model rocketry, and unmanned aerial systems.
