Live AI Coastal Briefing

Monday, October 12, is off to a cool and overcast start, with a temperature of 57°F and heavy cloud cover at 100%. The humidity is very high at 93%, making for muggy conditions along the coast.



The ocean is looking powerful today, with a surf height of 6.4 feet, making it suitable for experienced surfers only. A spring suit should be comfortable in the 65°F water temperature. However, rip current data is unavailable, so it's essential for swimmers to check with the lifeguard on duty before entering the water. For those planning their day around the tides, be sure to check the local tide chart for low and high tide times.



With winds at 10mph from the north and cloud cover at 100%, it's a good day for outdoor activities like running, cycling, and paddleboarding, but perhaps not ideal for fishing due to the overcast conditions. The low UV index means no special protection is needed, but moderate air quality, with an AQI of 52, may require sensitive individuals to limit their outdoor exercise. Given the conditions, early morning or late afternoon might be the best times for these activities to avoid the crowds and potential discomfort from the humidity.



As we look ahead to the rest of the day, the high temperature is expected to reach near unknown levels, with no rain expected. Tonight's conditions are also unavailable, but we can expect the overcast conditions to persist. It's a good idea to check the local forecast for updates throughout the day. With the NHC monitoring tropical development in the basin, it's always a good idea to stay informed about any potential changes in the weather. For now, enjoy the powerful surf and the cool, albeit muggy, morning along the coast.
