Live AI Coastal Briefing
It's Tuesday, 26 May, and I'm stoked to be bringing you the daily coastal weather report. We're in for a bit of a wet day, with a 90% chance of rain and heavy overcast conditions already setting in. The temperature's currently sitting at 19C, and it's feeling pretty humid out there with a humidity level of 95%.
Out in the ocean, the wave height's looking pretty impressive at 1.96m, which is definitely overhead and powerful - so it's really only suitable for experienced surfers today. The water temperature's a warm 22.7C, which is perfect for boardshorts and a fun day in the water. We've got a low tide coming up at 10:35 am, with a height of -1.7m, and the high tide will be at 04:57 pm, reaching 1.5m.
If you're planning on getting out and about today, you'll want to take into account the rain and wind - we've got a gentle breeze blowing at 8 km/h from the SSE, with gusts up to 14 km/h. Surfers will need to be careful out there, but the conditions could be great for experienced riders. Runners and cyclists might want to consider alternative routes or postponing their plans, while anglers and paddleboarders should exercise caution due to the choppy conditions and potential rain.
As we head into the afternoon, the rain's likely to continue, so make sure you've got your umbrella or rain jacket handy. Despite the wet weather, it's still going to be a relatively warm day, with a top temperature of 25C expected. With the low UV index, you won't need to worry too much about sun protection, but do take care out there and stay safe - and we'll catch you back here tomorrow with another update on the coastal weather.
