Live AI Coastal Briefing
Good morning, and welcome to our coastal weather broadcast for Wednesday, 27 May. We're in for a showery day, with a 90% chance of rain, so make sure you've got your umbrella handy. The temperature is currently sitting at 18C, with a heavy overcast and high humidity of 97%, making it feel quite muggy.
Out in the ocean, the wave height is around 2.20m, which is well overhead, so it's really only suitable for expert surfers today. The water temperature is a warm 22.6C, which is perfect for boardshorts, and the conditions are looking pretty good for those who know what they're doing. With high tide at 06:13 pm and low tide at 11:44 am, there's plenty of opportunities to get out and enjoy the water.
For all you sports and fitness enthusiasts out there, today's conditions might be a bit challenging. Surfers will need to be experienced to tackle the big waves, while runners and cyclists might want to consider alternative routes to avoid getting caught in the rain. Anglers and paddleboarders might find the calm lagoon a better option, with Currumbin Creek providing a peaceful spot to enjoy the water. And for those looking to catch some quality surf, Currumbin Alley is producing a great right-hander at the southern end.
As we head into the afternoon, the rain is likely to continue, with the temperature expected to reach a high of 24C. Despite the showers, it's still going to be a great day to get out and enjoy the coast, so make sure you're prepared and stay safe. With low UV levels and good air quality, there's no need to worry about sun protection or air quality, so grab your gear and get out there – and we'll catch you back here tomorrow with another update on the coastal weather.
