Live AI Coastal Briefing

G'day and welcome to your Wednesday 27 May coastal weather report, I'm stoked to be bringing you the latest from our stunning beach destination. It's a beautiful part of the world we live in, with a wide sandy bay that's perfect for a relaxing day out, and some fantastic surf spots for those who love to catch a wave. The character of our coastline is really something special, with gentler surf than some of our neighbouring beaches, making it a great spot for families and beginners.



Out in the ocean, the wave height is currently sitting at 2.46 metres, which is well overhead and definitely suited to expert surfers only. The water temperature is a pleasant 20.1 degrees Celsius, so you'll probably want to slip on a spring suit or rashie to stay comfortable in the water. With high tide coming in at 5:46 pm and low tide at 11:16 am, there's plenty of opportunities to get out and enjoy the water throughout the day.



If you're planning on getting active today, the conditions are looking pretty good for a range of sports and activities. Surfers will love the challenging waves, while runners and cyclists will enjoy the cool and calm conditions, with just a gentle 6 km/h breeze blowing from the WNW. Anglers should be able to find some good spots to cast a line, and paddleboarders will have a blast cruising around the bay. With the low UV index and good air quality, it's a great day to get outdoors and make the most of our beautiful coastline.



As we head into the afternoon, the temperature is expected to stay steady at around 15 degrees Celsius, with plenty of cloud cover keeping things cool and comfortable. There's no chance of rain, so you can plan your day with confidence, whether you're heading out for a surf, a swim, or just a relaxing day at the beach. Thanks for tuning in to your coastal weather report, and we'll catch you back here tomorrow with another update from our stunning beach destination.
