KOFP by the numbers
What the long-run records say about flying here, computed for this airport alone.
KOFP reported VFR in 82% of daylight observations over 20 years, about 283 flyable days a year. April is the most reliable month and December the least, with IFR or worse 13% of the time. When conditions drop it is usually a mix of low ceilings (under 1,000 ft 7% of hours) and low visibility (under 3 miles 5%).
Over 20 years of hourly winds, runway 16 had the best headwind 54% of the time, runway 34 46%, and winds were calm 50% of hours. Winds most often blow from the south. Crosswind on the best available runway topped 15 kt in 1% of hours.
Thunderstorms were reported on about 42 days a year. 68% of storm hours fall in June, July and August, peaking in July when storms were in the air 2% of the time.
Fog was reported on about 44 days a year, and fog or mist on 192. October and December are the foggiest months, with fog in 16% of hours, against 9% in April.
Field elevation is 207 ft, but on a median summer afternoon the air performs like 1,910 ft, 1,703 ft higher. Plan for a longer takeoff roll and a weaker climb from June to August.
Winds were calm 35% of the time and averaged 4.0 kt overall. March is the windiest month (mean 5 kt) and September the calmest.

Runway wind check
Estimated head/tailwind and crosswind for each runway end from the current reported wind.
Current wind is calm: calm wind is not a factor for runway selection, and with no wind there is no head/tail or crosswind component to compute. Live numbers return automatically once a report includes a wind direction.
| Runway | Length | Surface | Head / Tail | Crosswind |

“Current use” is what the facilitystates; wind components are arithmetic on the current METAR against TRUE headings; status reflects NOTAMs received through SWIM, the tower's TFDM record and the D-ATIS — a runway reads “Open” only with a complete NOTAM picture.
