Current pilot readout for KOPF

KOPF is currently VFR with winds from 030° at 17 knots gusting 29, visibility 10+ statute miles, and no ceiling reported. the wind favors east-facing runway ends (09L, 09R). Density altitude is approximately 1,600 ft (field elevation 8 ft). Review the latest TAF below for forecast changes before departure.

KOPF by the numbers

What the long-run records say about flying here, computed for this airport alone.

93%

of daylight hours VFR, 2006 to 2025

KOPF reported VFR in 93% of daylight observations over 20 years, about 295 flyable days a year. August is the most reliable month and January the least, with IFR or worse 4% of the time. When conditions drop it is usually a mix of low ceilings (under 1,000 ft 1% of hours) and low visibility (under 3 miles 1%).

34%

of windy hours favor 09L, 09R

Over 20 years of hourly winds, the east-facing ends (09L, 09R) had the best headwind 34% of the time, runway 12 33%, and winds were calm 15% of hours. Winds most often blow from the east. Crosswind on the best available runway topped 15 kt in under 1% of hours.

thunderstorm days a year

Thunderstorms were reported on about 84 days a year. 61% of storm hours fall in June, July and August, peaking in July when storms were in the air 5% of the time.

1,794 ft

typical summer-afternoon density altitude

Field elevation is 8 ft, but on a median summer afternoon the air performs like 1,794 ft, 1,786 ft higher. Plan for a longer takeoff roll and a weaker climb from June to August.

Sources: hourly observations 2006 to 2025 and the per-runway wind climatology 2006 to 2025. Historical summaries, not a forecast: check the current METAR, TAF and a briefing before flight.
