Live AI Coastal Briefing
Tuesday 26 May is shaping up to be a fantastic day along our beautiful stretch of coast, with a partly cloudy sky and a gentle breeze blowing in from the southeast. The overall feel of the day ahead is one of warmth and activity, with plenty of opportunities to get out and enjoy the water and the sunshine. With a massive, sweeping crescent of uninterrupted sand, our beach is the perfect spot to soak up the sun and take part in your favorite water sports.
The ocean conditions are looking great for surfers, with a wave height of 1.12m, which is waist to chest high, and an active surf that's sure to get your adrenaline pumping. The water temperature is a cool 18.0°C, making a spring suit a comfortable choice for those planning to spend some time in the water. With these conditions, it's going to be a great day to catch some waves and enjoy the thrill of surfing.
If you're planning to get out and about today, the wind is blowing at a moderate 11 km/h from the east, making it a great day for cycling and running along the coast. Surfers will also appreciate the gentle breeze, and snorkelers will enjoy the calm conditions. Don't forget to pack your sun protection, though, as the UV index is forecast to peak at 8.1, which is very high, and you'll want to avoid direct sun between 11am and 3pm to stay safe. With a little planning, you can have a fun and safe day in the sun.
As we head into the afternoon and evening, the IPMA forecast is predicting partly cloudy skies and a maximum temperature of 27.1°C, making it a great day to get out and enjoy the beach.
