Live AI Coastal Briefing
Saturday, July 11, is shaping up to be a beautiful day with clear blue skies and warm temperatures, currently sitting at 76°F. The high humidity is noticeable, but the gentle 2mph breeze from the east should help keep things comfortable. As the day begins, the calm conditions are perfect for a morning stroll or some outdoor activity.
The ocean conditions are ideal for water sports, with a surf height of 1.1 feet, making it great for beginners to catch some waves. The warm water temperature of 90°F means you can ditch the wetsuit and opt for boardshorts instead. However, before heading into the water, please check with the lifeguard on duty for the latest rip current information, as data is currently unavailable. Be sure to also check the local tide chart for low and high tide times to plan your beach activities accordingly.
For all you runners, cyclists, and paddleboarders out there, the morning is a great time to get out and enjoy the calm conditions. The 1% cloud cover and low UV index make it a perfect time to soak up some sunshine without worrying about sun protection. However, with moderate air quality, sensitive individuals may want to limit their outdoor exercise. Fishing enthusiasts can also take advantage of the calm waters, and the reliable afternoon sea breezes make it an excellent spot for kite flying later in the day.
As we look ahead to the rest of the day, the clear skies and warm temperatures are expected to continue, with no rain expected. While we don't have exact temperature highs for the day, it's shaping up to be a fantastic day to enjoy all the coastal activities this beautiful barrier island has to offer. Whether you're swimming, cycling, or just soaking up the sun, make the most of this stunning Saturday, and we'll see you back here tomorrow with another update.
