Live AI Coastal Briefing
Friday, August 28, is shaping up to be a beautiful day along the coast, with partly cloudy skies and a temperature of 75°F. The high humidity is making it feel a bit muggy, but that's not uncommon for this time of year. With very high humidity and normal pressure, it's a great day to get out and enjoy the ocean.
The surf is looking good for beginners, with waves at about 1.4 feet, or ankle to knee high. The warm water temperature of 85°F means you can wear boardshorts and enjoy the waves without needing a wetsuit. However, before you head into the water, be sure to check with the lifeguard on duty, as rip current data is unavailable today. Also, don't forget to check the local tide chart for low and high tide times to plan your day accordingly.
If you're planning on running, cycling, or paddleboarding, the light wind of 3mph from the WNW and partly cloudy skies should make for a pleasant morning. The low UV index means you don't need to worry about extra sun protection, and the excellent air quality, with an AQI of 37, makes it a great day to be outdoors. For anglers, the calm conditions should make for a good day on the water, and for those looking to try their hand at fishing, the clear waters and reef structures make for excellent snorkeling on calm days.
As we look ahead to the rest of the day, it's expected to be a beautiful day with no rain expected, but it's always a good idea to keep an eye on the skies, especially in the afternoon when thunderstorms can develop. With plenty of sunshine and warm weather, it's a great day to get out and enjoy all the coast has to offer, from beach volleyball to simply soaking up the sun. Whatever your plans, make the most of this beautiful day and enjoy the sunshine.
