Live AI Coastal Briefing
It's Wednesday, 27 May, and I've got your coastal weather report covered. We're looking at a day with a max temp of 15C, and it's already sitting at that temperature at 6:41 am, so it's going to be a cool one out there. The heavy overcast with 100% cloud cover is setting the tone for a pretty rugged day along our raw and powerful beach.
Out in the ocean, the wave height is sitting at 2.44m, which is well overhead, so it's really only suitable for experts today. The water temperature is a pleasant 20.1C, so you'll still want to wear a spring suit or rashie to stay comfortable. We've got a high tide coming in at 05:44 pm with a height of 2.1m, and a low tide at 11:14 am with a height of -1.6m.
If you're planning on getting out and about today, the conditions are pretty good for running and cycling, with just a gentle 7 km/h breeze from the WNW, gusting up to 13 km/h. For surfers, the consistent waves will be a drawcard, but be aware of those strong rips at both ends of the beach. Anglers and paddleboarders should also be mindful of the conditions, but it's a great day to get out and enjoy the ocean.
As we head into the afternoon, it's looking like it'll stay cool and overcast, with no chance of rain, so you can plan your day with confidence. With low UV and good air quality, it's a great day to get out and enjoy the beach, just be sure to check the conditions before you head out. Thanks for tuning in to your coastal weather report, and we'll catch you back here tomorrow with another update.
