Live AI Coastal Briefing
Saturday, July 11, is off to a warm and muggy start, with the temperature currently at 72°F and humidity at 89%. The overcast sky with 78% cloud cover sets the tone for a day with plenty of moisture in the air. As we look out at the ocean, the conditions are perfect for a variety of activities, from surfing to simply enjoying the beach.
The surf is looking great for beginners, with waves at 1.9 feet, or ankle to knee high, making it an ideal day to catch some waves. With the water temperature at 73°F, you can comfortably wear boardshorts and enjoy the warm water conditions. However, please be aware that rip current data is unavailable today, so it's essential to check with the lifeguard on duty before entering the water. For those planning their day around the tides, be sure to check your local tide chart for low and high tide times.
If you're planning on engaging in outdoor activities like running, cycling, or paddleboarding, the 5mph wind from the northwest and low UV index of 0.05 make for relatively comfortable conditions. However, with the moderate air quality and an AQI of 70, sensitive individuals may want to limit their outdoor exercise. Fishing enthusiasts will also find the conditions suitable, although the cloud cover might affect the bite. It's a great day to get out and enjoy the ocean and the boardwalk, which offers a fantastic running route with ocean views, but be prepared for crowds in the evening.
As we look ahead to the rest of the day, the temperature is expected to rise, but the exact high is unavailable. With no rain expected today or tonight, it should be a great day to enjoy the beach and the outdoors. Whether you're surfing, running, or just soaking up the sun, make the most of this summer day. With plenty of activities to choose from and a beautiful ocean to enjoy, it's shaping up to be a fantastic day at the coast, so get out there and make some waves.
