Weather Briefing
VFROostende-Brugge International Airport is currently reporting visual flight rules (VFR) conditions with few clouds at 1,100 feet and 10 miles or greater visibility.
Wind Analysis
Winds are from the north-northeast (30°) at 10 knots. Runway 08/26 is favored with a 6-knot headwind and 8-knot crosswind component.
Visibility & Ceiling
Visibility is unrestricted. No ceiling exists. Cloud layers reported: few at 1,100 ft.
Temperature & Moisture
Temperature is 11°C (52°F) with a dewpoint of 8°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 30 hours. The forecast shows a transition between VFR and IFR conditions. Pilots should monitor the forecast closely and have an alternate airport plan. Expected weather includes: Fog, Shallow Fog, Mist, Mist. There is a 30% probability of LIFR conditions with Fog between 06:00Z and 08:00Z. There is a 40% probability of IFR conditions with Shallow Fog, Mist between 00:00Z and 08:00Z. There is a 30% probability of LIFR conditions with Fog between 00:00Z 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 Oostende-Brugge International Airport
Overview
Oostende-Brugge International Airport serves the coastal region of Belgium, located in the province of West Flanders. Situated near the North Sea, this medium-sized airport provides strategic aviation infrastructure for the Oostende and Brugge metropolitan areas. The airport operates two runways, offering flexibility for different wind conditions and aircraft types.
Flying Conditions
Weather patterns at EBOS demonstrate predominantly favorable VFR conditions, with 63.3% of observations supporting visual flight rules. The prevailing southerly winds at 180° average 10.5 knots, with occasional gusts up to 37 knots. Temperature ranges from -3°C to 28°C, creating diverse seasonal flying environments, with September, November, and January presenting the most consistent VFR conditions.
Notable Features
The airport features a substantial concrete runway (08/26) measuring 10,499 feet, complemented by a shorter grass runway (14/32) of 2,057 feet. Located at a modest elevation of 13 feet mean sea level, the airport provides relatively flat terrain for approach and departure. Both runways demonstrate 100% favorable wind alignment, with an average crosswind of 7.2 knots.
Approach Considerations
Pilots can expect reliable approach conditions with consistently high visibility averaging 10 statute miles. Fog is minimal, occurring in only 2.3% of observations, and visibility below 3 miles is extremely rare. The dual runway configuration allows for flexible wind-aligned approaches, with both runways offering favorable wind conditions across all recorded meteorological data.
