Weather Briefing
IFRCapitan Corbeta CA Curbelo International Airport is currently reporting instrument flight rules (IFR) conditions with overcast skies at 800 feet and 7 km visibility.
Wind Analysis
Winds are from the variable directions at 3 knots.
Visibility & Ceiling
Visibility is 7 km, below VFR minimums in some airspace classifications. Check local requirements before departing VFR. The ceiling is 800 feet AGL (overcast). Only precision approaches may be usable depending on minimums.
Temperature & Moisture
Temperature is 10°C (50°F) with a dewpoint of 7°C. The narrow temperature-dewpoint spread suggests high humidity and potential for visibility restrictions, especially during cooling periods.
Forecast Outlook
The TAF forecast covers the next 24 hours. The forecast shows a transition between VFR and IFR conditions. Pilots should monitor the forecast closely and have an alternate airport plan. Expected weather includes: Mist, Patches Fog. Temporary IFR conditions are forecast with Mist between 02:00Z and 12:00Z. There is a 30% probability of LIFR conditions with Patches Fog between 04:00Z and 11:00Z.
Pilot Recommendations
An instrument rating and IFR flight plan are required. Verify that destination and alternate approach minimums are above current and forecast conditions. The narrow temperature-dewpoint spread creates risk of fog formation, particularly during evening and early morning hours. The forecast indicates conditions may deteriorate. Ensure you have fuel reserves and a viable alternate airport.

About Capitan Corbeta CA Curbelo International Airport
Overview
Capitan Corbeta CA Curbelo International Airport serves Punta del Este, Uruguay, as a medium-sized international airport situated at 95 feet above mean sea level. The airport features two asphalt runways: 01/19 at 5,249 feet and 08/26 at 6,998 feet, supporting regional and international aviation operations in southeastern Uruguay.
Flying Conditions
Weather conditions at SULS are predominantly VFR, with 76.8% of observations showing favorable visual flight conditions. Prevailing winds from the northeast at an average of 9.1 knots create generally stable flying conditions, with temperature ranges from 2°C to 38°C. Pilots can expect optimal VFR conditions during November, January, and October, with minimal low IFR occurrences and rare instances of visibility below 3 statute miles.
Notable Features
Located at coordinates -34.855099, -55.094299, the airport sits in a coastal region with relatively flat terrain. Both runways demonstrate consistent wind alignment, with 100% favorable wind coverage and modest average crosswind components of 5.5-5.9 knots. The airport's moderate elevation and geographic position contribute to predictable meteorological patterns.
Approach Considerations
Both runways offer excellent wind alignment, allowing flexible approach options regardless of wind direction. Runway 08/26 provides the longest landing surface at 6,998 feet, offering ample space for various aircraft types. Pilots should anticipate northeast winds and prepare for potential wind variations, though the average crosswind remains relatively consistent and manageable.
