Live AI Coastal Briefing
It's Monday 12 October, and a beautiful day is unfolding along our stunning coastline, with the sun rising over the calm waters of our crescent bay. The temperature is already at 13C, and it's expected to stay that way throughout the day, with a maximum of 13C forecasted. Our location beneath the ranges creates a unique microclimate, making it a perfect spot for a variety of activities.
The ocean conditions are quite rough today, with wave heights reaching 2.50m, making it extremely large and dangerous for swimmers and surfers, so it's best to stay out of the water. The water temperature is 14.6C, which is quite cool, so a 3/2 full wetsuit is recommended for anyone brave enough to venture in. We've just had a low tide at 06:53 am, with a height of -3.8m, and the next high tide is expected at 01:14 pm, reaching 4.1m.
For all the sports and fitness enthusiasts out there, today's conditions might be a bit challenging, but there are still plenty of opportunities to get out and enjoy the day. Surfers will need to be experienced and cautious, while runners and cyclists can take advantage of the overcast conditions to avoid the heat. Anglers can try their luck in the calm waters of the bay, and paddleboarders might want to wait for calmer conditions. With the wind blowing at 15 km/h from the west, gusting up to 32 km/h, it's essential to be prepared and aware of the conditions.
As we head into the afternoon, the temperature will remain steady at 13C, with plenty of cloud cover and a low UV index, making it a great day to get out and enjoy the scenery. With no chance of rain expected, it's an ideal day for a family outing or a leisurely walk along the beach. So, grab your gear, and get out there to make the most of this beautiful day, and we'll catch you back here tomorrow with another update on the coastal weather.
