About Le Touquet-Côte d'Opale Airport
Overview
Le Touquet-Côte d'Opale Airport serves the coastal region of northern France, situated in the popular resort town of Le Touquet-Paris-Plage. Located at 36 feet above mean sea level with coordinates 50.518284, 1.621656, the airport provides medium-sized airport infrastructure for regional and general aviation operations.
Flying Conditions
Weather conditions at Le Touquet demonstrate significant VFR opportunities, with 51.5% of observations showing visual flight rules and an additional 33% in marginal VFR conditions. Prevailing winds from the southeast (135°) average 9 knots, with temperatures ranging from -5°C to 28°C and an average of 10°C. September, October, and January offer the most consistent VFR flying conditions.
Notable Features
The airport features two runways: Runway 13/31 with a paved surface measuring 6,070 feet, and Runway 06/24 with unspecified length. Both runways demonstrate 100% favorable wind alignment, with average crosswind components of 6.2 knots and 5.1 knots respectively. The coastal location suggests potential for rapidly changing maritime weather patterns.
Approach Considerations
Given the predominant southeast winds, pilots can expect generally stable approach conditions with minimal crosswind challenges. Visibility averages 10 statute miles, with extremely rare instances of reduced visibility (only 0.7% fog occurrence). The low elevation and coastal positioning suggest standard approach considerations typical of maritime airport environments.
