Weather Briefing

MVFR

Reales Tamarindos Airport is currently reporting marginal VFR (MVFR) conditions with broken clouds at 2,300 feet and 10 miles or greater visibility.

Wind Analysis

Winds are from the northwest (320°) at 5 knots. Runway 30 is favored with a 5-knot headwind and 2-knot crosswind component.

Visibility & Ceiling

Visibility is unrestricted. The ceiling is 2300 feet AGL (broken), placing conditions in the MVFR category.

Temperature & Moisture

Temperature is 28°C (82°F) with a dewpoint of 24°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 fluctuate between VFR and MVFR. VFR pilots should be prepared for deteriorating conditions.

Pilot Recommendations

VFR pilots should exercise caution. Consider filing IFR if instrument rated, or postponing the flight if conditions are expected to deteriorate further.

This briefing is generated from real-time METAR and TAF data. Always verify with official sources before flight.

The airport provides critical aviation infrastructure for the coastal province of Manabí, supporting regional transportation and potential commercial and general aviation operations.

Flying Conditions

The airport's elevation of 130 ft MSL suggests a relatively low-altitude environment typical of coastal Ecuador. Pilots should anticipate potential maritime weather influences, including potential humidity and variable wind conditions common to the Pacific coastal region.

Notable Features

The single runway (12/30) measures 7,451 feet in length and is constructed with an asphalt surface, providing substantial operational capabilities for medium-sized aircraft. Its geographic coordinates at -1.041650, -80.472198 position the airport in a coastal terrain environment near Portoviejo.

Approach Considerations

The 7,451-foot asphalt runway provides reasonable operational flexibility for approach and landing. Given the runway's orientation of 12/30, pilots should be prepared to assess wind conditions and select the most appropriate runway heading during arrival and departure procedures.
