Weather Briefing
VFRKapalua Airport is currently reporting visual flight rules (VFR) conditions with scattered clouds at 4,500 feet and 10 SM visibility.
Wind Analysis
Winds are from the northeast (40°) at 11 knots with gusts to 22 knots. Runway 02/20 is favored with a 10-knot headwind and 4-knot crosswind component (gusting to 8 knots crosswind).
Visibility & Ceiling
Visibility is 10 SM. No ceiling exists. Cloud layers reported: few at 3,300 ft, scattered at 4,500 ft, scattered at 5,500 ft.
Temperature & Moisture
Temperature is 23°C (73°F) with a dewpoint of 20°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 30 hours. Conditions are expected to remain VFR throughout the forecast period.
Pilot Recommendations
Conditions are favorable for visual flight. The narrow temperature-dewpoint spread creates risk of fog formation, particularly during evening and early morning hours.

About Kapalua Airport
Overview
Kapalua Airport serves the western region of Maui, Hawaii, providing critical aviation access to the Lahaina area. Located at an elevation of 256 feet MSL, this medium-sized airport facilitates regional transportation and supports tourism infrastructure for the northwest part of the island.
Flying Conditions
Positioned at 20.962900, -156.673004, Kapalua Airport experiences typical Hawaiian tropical maritime weather conditions with potential trade wind influences. The airport's moderate elevation and coastal location can produce variable wind conditions that pilots should carefully assess during approach and departure.
Notable Features
The airport features a single runway (02/20) measuring 3000 feet with an asphalt surface, which provides adequate length for most regional aircraft operations. Its geographic positioning on Maui's western coastline means pilots should anticipate potential terrain interactions and localized wind patterns around the runway.
Approach Considerations
Given the airport's single runway orientation (02/20), pilots should conduct thorough wind assessments prior to approach. The 3000-foot asphalt runway requires precise navigation and consideration of the surrounding terrain, particularly when operating aircraft near the runway's performance limits.
