Weather Briefing
MVFRGolfito Airport is currently reporting marginal VFR (MVFR) conditions with broken clouds at 1,400 feet and 8 km visibility. Note: This observation is 4.7 hours old and conditions may have changed.
Wind Analysis
Winds are from the west-northwest (290°) at 5 knots. Runway 31 is favored with a 5-knot headwind and 2-knot crosswind component.
Visibility & Ceiling
Visibility is 8 km, below VFR minimums in some airspace classifications. Check local requirements before departing VFR. The ceiling is 1400 feet AGL (broken), placing conditions in the MVFR category. Caution: cumulonimbus (thunderstorm) clouds reported at 1,400 ft AGL, indicating convective activity in the area.
Temperature & Moisture
Temperature is 25°C (77°F) with a dewpoint of 24°C. The temperature-dewpoint spread is very narrow, indicating saturated or near-saturated air. Fog formation or low cloud development is likely.
Forecast Outlook
The TAF forecast covers the next 12 hours. Conditions are expected to fluctuate between VFR and MVFR. VFR pilots should be prepared for deteriorating conditions. Expected weather includes: Thunderstorm Rain, Rain. Temporary MVFR conditions are forecast with Rain between 00:00Z and 04:00Z. Temporary VFR conditions are forecast between 08:00Z and 12:00Z.
Pilot Recommendations
VFR pilots should exercise caution. Consider filing IFR if instrument rated, or postponing the flight if conditions are expected to deteriorate further. The narrow temperature-dewpoint spread creates risk of fog formation, particularly during evening and early morning hours.
This briefing is generated from real-time METAR and TAF data. Always verify with official sources before flight.

About Golfito Airport
Overview
Golfito Airport serves the southern Pacific coastal region of Costa Rica, located in the Puntarenas province. Situated at 49 feet above mean sea level, this medium-sized airport provides essential transportation infrastructure for the Golfito area, supporting regional and local aviation needs.
Flying Conditions
The airport's coastal location near 8.6540°N, 83.1822°W suggests potential maritime weather influences with possible variable wind conditions. Pilots should anticipate potential tropical weather patterns typical of Costa Rica's southern Pacific region, including potential seasonal precipitation and humidity variations.
Notable Features
The airport features a single runway (13/31) measuring 4,593 feet long with an asphalt surface. Its relatively low elevation and proximity to coastal terrain may require careful attention to local topographical and wind conditions during approach and departure operations.
Approach Considerations
With a runway orientation of 13/31, pilots should consider prevailing wind directions when planning approaches. The 4,593-foot runway length accommodates medium-sized aircraft, but precise performance calculations are recommended based on specific aircraft characteristics and current meteorological conditions.
