How does Wind Walk interact with an Anti-Magic Field

If you're one of my players or playing in a Night Below campaign, hie thee away.







My players are about to scout out Great Shaboath, an aboleth city in "Night Below".
In their conversations they are contemplating using Wind Walk to fly over the city walls. The biggest problem to their plan (which they don't know about yet), is that there is a wall of anti-magic surrounding the city.
So, does anyone know what happens when a wind-walking character flies through an anti-magic field?

I can think of two options
1. The character bounces off the wall - apply some damage equal to falling some distance for hitting a solid barrier.

or (which makes more sense to me)
2. The characters change back to normal form with some momentum and then begin falling. Once on the other side of the anti-magic field they can start to change back - but it's a five round process - and they can't be any higher than 400ft off the floor. Apply falling damage, check to see who spots them, and let anyone who has feather fall use it.

Any ideas?
Thanks,

They enter the anti magic field.

They fall while within the anti magic field.

They land while within the anti magic field. Remember those unbuffed HP totals!

Survivors will then be able to leave the anti magic field.
 

Thanks for the reply.

Two other things come to mind about my assumptions when I posted.
The anti-magic field is described as a wall, but doesn't give a thickness - but let's say it's only few inches for the sake of argument. My first assumption then is that regardless of the thickness of the wall, the act of passing through the wall automatically suppresses all spell effects (no matter how briefly) causing the resumption of normal form.

Assumption number two was that the characters will not automatically assume cloud form upon passing through the anti-magic field. The wind walk spell is still active, but they're no longer in flight-mode.

Are these two assumptions reasonable?

If windwalk takes time to switch, yes.
