Live AI Coastal Briefing
G'day, it's Tuesday 26 May, and we're kickin' off another crackin' day here on the coast. The current conditions are showin' a temperature of 16C, with a heavy overcast and 100% cloud cover, so it's lookin' like a pretty gloomy mornin' out there. The humidity's sittin' at 98%, so it's feelin' pretty damp and misty.
If you're plannin' on headin' out into the ocean today, you'll want to exercise some caution, mate. The wave height's currently sittin' at 2.66m, which is extremely large and dangerous, so we're advisin' everyone to stay out of the water for now. The water temperature's a warm 23.0C, but with those big waves, it's not exactly ideal conditions for swimmin' or paddlin' around.
For all you surfers, runners, cyclists, and anglers out there, today's conditions are a bit of a mixed bag. The legendary right-hand point break is likely to be churnin' out some long, walling waves, but with the heavy overcast and strong winds, it might not be the best day for a surf. Runners and cyclists might enjoy the cool, crisp air, but they'll want to watch out for any slippery roads or pathways. Fishos might want to try their luck, but with the rough seas, it's not lookin' like the best day for a fish.
As we head into the arvo, the high tide's expected to roll in around 05:13 pm, with a height of 1.9m, so if you're plannin' on headin' out for a sunset surf or paddle, you'll want to keep an eye on the tide times. With no rain expected and a low UV alert, it's shapin' up to be a pretty decent arvo, despite the gloomy mornin' start. So, grab your gear, get out there, and make the most of it, and we'll catch you back here tomorrow for another update.
