Weather Briefing
VFRBora Bora Airport is currently reporting visual flight rules (VFR) conditions with broken clouds at 7,800 feet and 10 miles or greater visibility.
Wind Analysis
Winds are from the east-southeast (110°) at 2 knots.
Visibility & Ceiling
Visibility is unrestricted. The ceiling is 7800 feet AGL (broken), well above standard VFR minimums.
Temperature & Moisture
Temperature is 26°C (79°F) with a dewpoint of 24°C. The temperature-dewpoint spread is very narrow, indicating saturated or near-saturated air. Fog formation or low cloud development is likely.
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.
This briefing is generated from real-time METAR and TAF data. Always verify with official sources before flight.

About Bora Bora Airport
Overview
Bora Bora Airport serves the iconic French Polynesian island of Bora Bora, located in the South Pacific. Situated on Motu Mute, a small islet adjacent to the main island, the airport provides critical transportation infrastructure for this remote tourism destination. The medium-sized airport operates at a low elevation of 10 feet mean sea level.
Flying Conditions
Meteorological data indicates highly favorable flying conditions, with Visual Flight Rules (VFR) conditions present 83.8% of the time. Prevailing easterly winds average 10.1 knots, with temperatures consistently ranging between 21°C and 31°C. Visibility typically remains excellent at 10 statute miles, with minimal instances of reduced visibility or fog.
Notable Features
The airport features two runways: a 4,921-foot asphalt runway (11/29) and a 3,000-foot coral runway (17/35). Its Pacific island location means pilots should anticipate potential marine layer development and potential wind variations typical of island environments. Both runways demonstrate 100% favorable wind alignment, minimizing crosswind challenges.
Approach Considerations
Pilots can expect consistently stable approach conditions, particularly during September, November, and December, which represent the best VFR months. Runway 11/29 presents an average crosswind of 5.1 knots, while Runway 17/35 experiences a slightly higher average crosswind of 7.7 knots. The predictable wind patterns and excellent visibility make this a relatively straightforward airport for instrument-rated pilots.
