Notable Features
The airport features three runways with different surface types: two asphalt (04/22 and 17/35) and one grass (11/29). Its moderate elevation of 83 feet MSL and coastal location suggest potential marine layer and visibility challenges. September through November offer the most reliable VFR flying conditions, with the lowest occurrence of instrument meteorological conditions.
Approach Considerations
All three runways demonstrate 100% wind favorability, with minimal average crosswind components ranging from 4 to 5.1 knots. Runway 04/22, the longest at 5,200 feet, provides the most substantial landing surface. Pilots should anticipate potential visibility restrictions, with 3.4% of observations reporting visibility below 3 statute miles and 1.7% experiencing fog conditions.
