Live AI Coastal Briefing
Good morning and welcome to our coastal weather report for Wednesday, 27 May. It's a beautiful day to be outdoors, despite the heavy overcast and 100% cloud cover, with a temperature of 15C and a humidity of 94%. The air quality is sitting at an EU AQI of 24, which is relatively good, but we do have a 70% chance of rain today, so be sure to pack your umbrella.
Out in the ocean, the wave height is sitting at 1.84m, which is overhead and powerful, making it suitable for experienced surfers only. The water temperature is a cool 16.7C, so if you're planning on getting in the water, a 3/2 full wetsuit is recommended. We've got high tide coming in at 05:11 pm with a height of 1.8m, and low tide was earlier this morning at 10:13 am with a height of -0.4m.
If you're planning on getting active today, the strong winds of 25 km/h from the ENE, gusting up to 50 km/h, will make for challenging conditions for runners and cyclists. Surfers, as mentioned, will have their hands full with the powerful waves, while anglers will need to be careful with their lines in the windy conditions. Paddleboarders may want to consider alternative activities or wait for calmer waters, as the conditions are quite rough.
As we head into the afternoon, the rain chance remains high, so be sure to pack your wet weather gear. The temperature is expected to reach a maximum of 18C, but it will still feel cool, especially with the wind chill. Despite the changeable conditions, it's still a great day to get out and enjoy our beautiful coastline, so grab your gear, head on out, and make the most of it – stay safe and have a great day.
