Flying Conditions
The airport experiences predominantly VFR conditions 80.2% of the time, with occasional MVFR conditions at 14%. Temperatures range from 15°C to 33°C, with an average of 25.9°C. Wind conditions are consistently from the east at 90 degrees, averaging 7.6 knots with maximum gusts up to 23 knots, and calm periods occurring 2.5% of the time.
Notable Features
The airport's low elevation of 24 feet MSL indicates a flat terrain environment with minimal terrain-related challenges. Wind patterns are remarkably consistent, with 100% favorable wind conditions for runway 10/28. Average crosswind components are relatively mild at 3.9 knots, suggesting generally stable approach conditions.
Approach Considerations
Optimal VFR flying conditions are most prevalent during October, November, and September. The consistent easterly winds favor runway 10/28, providing predictable approach and departure scenarios. With an average visibility of 10 statute miles and zero reported fog incidents, pilots can expect generally clear approach conditions.
