Weather Briefing
VFRCabo Rojo Airport is currently reporting visual flight rules (VFR) conditions with scattered clouds at 1,800 feet and 10 miles or greater visibility. Note: This observation is 1.9 hours old and conditions may have changed.
Wind Analysis
Winds are from the southeast (130°) at 12 knots. Runway 11/29 is favored with a 11-knot headwind and 4-knot crosswind component.
Visibility & Ceiling
Visibility is unrestricted. No ceiling exists. Cloud layers reported: few at 1,600 ft (CB), scattered at 1,800 ft. Caution: cumulonimbus (thunderstorm) clouds reported at 1,600 ft AGL, indicating convective activity in the area.
Temperature & Moisture
Temperature is 25°C (77°F) with a dewpoint of 22°C. The narrow temperature-dewpoint spread suggests high humidity and potential for visibility restrictions, especially during cooling periods.
Forecast Outlook
The TAF forecast covers the next 24 hours. Conditions are expected to remain MVFR throughout the forecast period. Expected weather includes: Thunderstorm Rain. There is a 30% probability of MVFR conditions with Thunderstorm Rain between 04:00Z and 08:00Z.
Pilot Recommendations
Conditions are favorable for visual flight. The narrow temperature-dewpoint spread creates risk of fog formation, particularly during evening and early morning hours. The forecast indicates conditions may deteriorate. Ensure you have fuel reserves and a viable alternate airport.

About Cabo Rojo Airport
Overview
Cabo Rojo Airport serves the southwestern region of the Dominican Republic, located at 17.929001, -71.644798. As a medium-sized airport with an elevation of 262 feet mean sea level, it provides critical aviation infrastructure for the Cabo Rojo area. The airport supports regional transportation needs with its primary runway 11/29, which measures 4,950 feet and is surfaced with asphalt.
Flying Conditions
The airport's moderate elevation at 262 feet suggests a generally stable atmospheric environment typical of Caribbean coastal regions. Pilots should anticipate potential maritime weather influences given the airport's proximity to coastal areas. Temperature and wind variations can be expected due to the geographic location and seasonal maritime air masses.
Notable Features
Runway 11/29's asphalt surface provides a stable landing platform with a substantial 4,950-foot length, accommodating a range of aircraft types. The airport's position at 17.929001, -71.644798 indicates it is situated in a region with potential complex terrain and coastal geographical characteristics that may influence local wind patterns and approach conditions.
Approach Considerations
Given the runway's orientation of 11/29, pilots should be prepared for potential crosswind scenarios during approach and landing. The 4,950-foot runway length provides adequate space for most regional and medium-sized aircraft operations. Standard instrument approach procedures will be critical for safe navigation, especially during periods of reduced visibility or challenging maritime weather conditions.
