Runway winds & crosswind

Pre-filled with runway 10/28, measured from aerial imagery — adjust it if your club flies different numbers and we'll remember your change on this device.

Using runway 10/28

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.
