There is a flying tip and an acronym index at the bottom of the report for those not understanding some of the weather jargon. ;)

4 November 2026

Good morning all you super cool Wild2fly people! :) A flyable day yesterday but a bit of a wild one - the SE picked up pretty strong and was way gustier than anticipated. Buffs saw only a few pilots taking too the air in the rowdy stuff. lol. ;) Some good flying at SLP and then Francois Snr and Gavin making it from Dasklip to Clan while Clive did a 96km flight from Kardoesie. :) Summer is here guys! https://www.xcontest.org/world/en/flights/detail:cem1906/3.11.2026/09:53 Then Finish pilot, Arto Takala flying 401km in Brazil on his Enzo3 https://www.xcontest.org/world/en/flights/detail:takalaa/3.11.2026/11:24  1 flight over 300km and 1 flight over 200km - all from Brazil. Bir Billing with many flights over 100km. Back to our SA weather, a well define trough line down the central parts with a secondary convergence line along the west coast. this is producing some 20k cloud bases in parts of Nam! Amazing I tell you. :)) For Wilderness the SAH still dominating but its weakening during the day so winds not as strong as yesterday. Buffs and Gerrickes should be the spots, but Sedge looks like it could also offer some flights during the morning before things go east. Secretly I think Gerrickes should be the bizz before midday today. ;) It might also be bench-up-able too. :)) Lekker! High tide is at 12:21 and low tide around 6 hrs either side of that. Sunrise was at 5:26 and setting at 19:01. Daylight of 13 hrs and 34 min! :). Max temps today a sweet 23 degrees C in Wilderness! Have a lekker one everybody and as always, remember to take a moment and reflect on God - that’s really what life is all about. :) (John 10:10. Rom 10:9. Eph 4:31-32. Phil 4:8).

Todays flying tip: We are all familiar with weight shifting in the air. That same principle should be applied when ground handling too. ;)
