Live AI Coastal Briefing

It's Wednesday, 27 May, and a beautiful morning to all our coastal lovers out there. We're coming to you live from a stunning beach destination, tucked between two headlands, where the surf is consistent, and the rock pools and lagoon are perfect for the kids. The current temperature is a cool 14C, with a heavy overcast and 100% humidity, so it's a great morning to grab a cuppa and check out the conditions before heading out.



The ocean is looking pretty lively today, with a wave height of 2.42m, which is well overhead, so it's really only suitable for the experts out there. The water temperature is a pleasant 20.2C, so you'll probably want to slip into a spring suit or rashie to make the most of the conditions. We've just had high tide at 05:02 am, with a height of 1.1m, and low tide is expected at 11:02 am, with a height of -1.5m.



If you're planning on getting out and about today, the conditions are looking great for a range of activities. Surfers will love the consistent waves, while runners and cyclists will enjoy the cool, calm conditions, with a gentle breeze blowing at 5 km/h from the WSW, gusting up to 10 km/h. Fishermen should be able to find some good spots, and paddleboarders will have a great time exploring the rock pools and lagoon. With no rain expected, and low UV, it's a perfect day to get out and enjoy the coast.



As we head into the afternoon, the temperature is expected to stay around 14C, with the heavy overcast persisting, so it's a great excuse to stay outdoors and enjoy all the coast has to offer. With clean surf and a range of activities to choose from, you're spoilt for choice, and the low UV and good air quality mean you can stay out all day without worrying. So, grab your gear, and get out there and make the most of this beautiful coastal day – we'll catch you back here tomorrow with another update.
