Live AI Coastal Briefing
Friday 28 August is shaping up to be a beautiful day on our stunning coastline, with partly cloudy conditions expected throughout the day. The current temperature is a mild 14C, and we're seeing a heavy overcast with 100% cloud cover, but that's not dampening the spirits of our early risers. Our coastline is renowned for its breathtaking scenery, with pristine white sand and turquoise water that's perfect for a day out.
The ocean conditions are quite rough at the moment, with a wave height of 2.62m, which is extremely large and dangerous, so we're advising everyone to stay out of the water. The water temperature is a cool 16.9C, which means a 3/2 full wetsuit is recommended for anyone brave enough to venture in. We're expecting a high tide at 10:38 am and a low tide at 05:53 pm, so it's essential to plan your beach activities accordingly.
For all our sports enthusiasts, today's conditions are looking great for running and cycling, with a gentle breeze blowing at 32 km/h from the SE, gusting up to 59 km/h. However, surfing and paddleboarding are not recommended due to the large wave height, and fishing might be a challenge in these rough conditions. The air quality is excellent, with an AQI of 26, making it perfect for outdoor activities like running and cycling, and the low UV index means you don't need to worry about special sun protection.
As we head into the afternoon, we can expect the famous Fremantle Doctor to kick in, bringing a strong sea breeze that will keep things cool and comfortable. With a maximum temperature of 21C expected, it's going to be a fantastic day to get out and enjoy all that our coastline has to offer. So, grab your sunscreen, your bike or your running shoes, and make the most of this beautiful day on our stunning coastline, and we'll catch you back here tomorrow with another update.
