Live AI Coastal Briefing
Friday, August 28, is off to a warm and muggy start, with the temperature currently sitting at 69°F under a heavy overcast sky with 100% cloud cover. The humidity is very high at 91%, making for a pretty steamy morning. This is a great day to get out and enjoy the beach, with the sound of the waves and the smell of the salty air filling the air.
The surf is looking fun for longboarders, with a height of 2.4 feet, or knee to waist high, making for some great waves to catch. With the water temperature at a warm 74°F, you can definitely get away with just boardshorts, no wetsuit needed. 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 beach activities.
If you're planning on getting in some exercise today, the wind is blowing at a gentle 4mph from the SSW, and the cloud cover is heavy, so you won't have to worry about too much sun beating down on you. The UV index is low, so no special protection is needed. However, with moderate air quality, sensitive individuals may want to limit their outdoor exercise. This is a great morning for a run or a bike ride, and the calm conditions are also perfect for paddleboarding or fishing. Just be sure to time your activities accordingly, as the air quality may affect your plans.
As we head into the afternoon and evening, the conditions are expected to remain pleasant, with no rain expected today or tonight. While we don't have exact temperature highs and lows, the current conditions are setting us up for a beautiful day at the beach. So, grab your board, your bike, or your fishing gear, and get out there to enjoy all that the coast has to offer. With its wide, clean beach and quiet, uncrowded atmosphere, this is the perfect spot to soak up the sun and have some fun in the waves.
