Live AI Coastal Briefing
It's Wednesday, 27 May, and we're kicking off another stunning day here on our beautiful coastal stretch, where the lush rainforest meets the incredible Great Barrier Reef. With clear blue skies and a temperature already at 21C, it's shaping up to be a perfect day to get out and enjoy all that our coastline has to offer. The humidity is sitting at 81%, but with a gentle breeze of 4 km/h from the southwest, it's feeling pretty comfortable.
Out in the ocean, conditions are looking great for water enthusiasts, with a wave height of just 0.30m, making it an excellent day for beginners to catch some waves. The water temperature is a warm 24.6C, so you can definitely get away with wearing boardshorts. With high tide not until 6:50 pm and low tide at 12:41 pm, there's plenty of time to plan your beach and water activities.
For all you surfers, runners, cyclists, and paddleboarders out there, today is a great day to get moving. The calm conditions and low wind speed make it ideal for a morning surf or paddle, while the clear skies and mild temperature are perfect for a run or cycle along the beachfront. If you're an angler, the low tide at 12:41 pm might be a good time to try your luck, and with the water temperature so warm, you might even be able to snag a few fish.
As we head into the afternoon, it's looking like it will be a beautiful day with plenty of sunshine and no chance of rain, so make sure to get out and make the most of it. With a low UV index, you don't need to worry too much about sun protection, but still remember to slip, slop, slap. We're expecting a top temperature of 21C, so it should be a lovely day to wrap up with a sunset walk along the beach, taking in the stunning views of our coastal paradise.
