water ballast
The only time head or tail-wind affects inter-thermal speed or the need for ballast is when the glide is to a fixed point on the ground, either a turn point to be rounded before the next thermal is taken or a final glide to landing. ....or when thermals are linked to ground features, such as when flying above mountains which create energy lines
