Live AI Coastal Briefing
G'day and welcome to your Tuesday 26 May coastal weather report, I'm stoked to be bringing you the latest conditions for a fantastic day ahead. We're looking at a top day to get out and enjoy the beautiful coastline, with plenty of activities to suit all interests. The current temperature is sitting at 17C, with a heavy overcast cloud cover of 98% and a humidity level of 96%, so it's feeling pretty mild and calm.
Out in the ocean, the wave height is currently at 2.08m, which is well overhead and really only suitable for expert surfers. The water temperature is a pleasant 20.2C, so you'll probably only need a spring suit or rashie to stay comfortable. With a high tide of 1.9m at 05:13 pm and a low tide of -1.7m at 10:45 am, there's plenty of variation in the water levels throughout the day.
If you're looking to get out and get active, the conditions are pretty good for a range of sports and fitness activities. Surfers will need to be experienced to tackle the 2.08m waves, but runners and cyclists will enjoy the calm and mild conditions, with just a gentle 8 km/h breeze from the NE. Anglers and paddleboarders will also find the conditions suitable, with the calm waters and light wind making it easier to get out and enjoy the ocean.
As we head into the afternoon, the outlook is for more of the same, with no rain expected and plenty of cloud cover to keep things cool and comfortable. The UV index is low, so you won't need to worry too much about sun protection, and the air quality is good, with an EU AQI of 22. So grab your gear, get out, and make the most of this fantastic coastal day – we'll catch you back here tomorrow with another update.
