Live AI Coastal Briefing
Good morning, it's Wednesday the 27th of May, and I've got your daily coastal weather report. We're in for a bit of a wild ride today, with a 100% chance of rain and possible storms on the way. The temperature is currently sitting at 19C, with a heavy overcast cloud cover and high humidity, so it's feeling pretty muggy out there.
Out in the ocean, the wave height is looking pretty impressive at 2.18m, which is well overhead, so it's really only suitable for expert surfers today. The water temperature is a warm 22.8C, which is perfect for boardshorts, but be aware of those strong rips, especially at the northern end. We've got a low tide coming up at 11:38 am, with a height of -2.0m, and then the high tide will hit at 06:07 pm, with a height of 2.0m.
If you're planning on getting out and about today, surfers will need to be careful with those strong rips, while runners and cyclists should be prepared for wet conditions. Anglers might want to consider postponing their fishing trip until the weather clears up, but paddleboarders could still have a good time on the water, just be sure to keep an eye on the storm forecast. With the low UV index, you won't need to worry too much about sun protection, but do keep an eye on the lightning if a storm rolls in.
As we head into the afternoon, the rain is likely to continue, and we might even see some storms rolling in, so make sure you've got a plan in place in case the weather turns. The maximum temperature today will only reach 22C, and it's going to feel pretty cool tonight, with a minimum of 15C, so you might want to grab a jumper for later. Despite the wet weather, it's still going to be a great day to get out and enjoy the coast, so grab your rain jacket and get on out there.
