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

11 September 2026

Good morning all you amazing Wild2fly people! :) So a short flying window yesterday at Sedge - a lucky few got into some of the up stuff but not long and everybody got flushed with the drizzle moving in soon after that. Elsewhere, Max flying in Columbia a col 140km triangle https://www.xcontest.org/world/en/flights/detail:judomax625/10.09.2026/14:51 And can you believe only 3 flights over 100km yesterday. Tough day it seems... lol ;) Back to the SA weather where the CF is still influencing the southern parts with low cloud and slight chance of rain while the interior has high bases and chance of CB's over the southern central parts. Base over 15k in Nam along the west coast while a strong convergence line is setting up along the Karoo escarpment of SA - a distinct mostly summer feature. For Wilderness the day starts of with a light SW breeze that will back to the S and even SE at the end of the day. Nothing strong for today with 10knots at a push. Base around 1500ft with super nice thermals. Perhaps a later start due to the wet ground but there should be enough instability to get you going even with the wet ground around. Keep tabs of the clouds and cloud suck otherwise it should be a sweet day. ;) Lekker! High tide is at 15:49 and low tide around 6 hrs either side of that. Sunrise was at 6:35 and setting at 18:18. Daylight of 11 hrs and 44 min! :). Max temps today still a cool 18 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.)

Todays flying tip: While ridge soaring, air law stipulates to pass on the ridge side. But in reality, most often that’s not possible. So, what do you do? :)
