Live AI Coastal Briefing
Friday 28 August is shaping up to be a beautiful day here on the coast, with partly cloudy skies expected and a gentle breeze blowing in from the southwest at 9 km/h. The current temperature is a pleasant 13C, and with a humidity level of 96%, it's feeling quite comfortable. We've got clear blue skies above us, with only 7% cloud cover, making it a great morning to get outdoors and enjoy the sunshine.
Out in the ocean, the waves are looking great for surfers, with a wave height of 1.08m, which is waist to chest high, and should provide some solid surf. The water temperature is a cool 20.2C, so you may want to consider wearing a spring suit or rashie to stay comfortable. With high tide at 08:03 am and low tide at 01:55 pm, there are plenty of opportunities to get in the water and enjoy the beaches, whether you're swimming, surfing, or just paddling around.
If you're planning on getting active today, the conditions are looking great for a range of sports and activities. Surfers will love the solid waves at Dicky Beach, while runners and cyclists will enjoy the gentle breeze and partly cloudy skies. Anglers should have a good day on the water, and paddleboarders will appreciate the calm conditions in Pumicestone Passage. With a 30% chance of rain, it's a good idea to pack a light jacket or rain gear, just in case, but overall it's shaping up to be a fantastic day to get outdoors and enjoy the coast.
As we head into the afternoon, the temperature is expected to rise to a pleasant 25C, making it a great time to hit the beach or get in some outdoor activities. With low UV levels, you don't need to worry too much about sun protection, but it's always a good idea to slip on some sunscreen and a hat to be safe. As the day comes to a close, we hope you've had a fantastic time enjoying the coast, and we look forward to bringing you another update tomorrow.
