Live AI Coastal Briefing
Tuesday, May 26, is shaping up to be a unique day at the coast, with a mix of heavy overcast and muggy conditions, but before we dive into the details, I want to lead with a critical alert: a Tornado Watch is currently active, so please stay tuned to local news and weather reports for updates throughout the day. The temperature is a cool 59°F, with a very high humidity level of 93%, making it feel quite muggy. The cloud cover is a heavy 100%, setting the tone for a dramatic day.
The ocean conditions are looking inviting for surfers, with a surf height of 2.4 feet, which is knee to waist high, making it fun for longboarders. Given the water temperature of 60°F, a 3/2 wetsuit is recommended for those planning to spend time in the water. As for tides, I recommend checking your local tide chart for the exact times of low and high tide, as this information is not currently available.
For runners, cyclists, and outdoor enthusiasts, the wind is currently blowing at 4mph from the NNE, with gusts up to 7mph, and the cloud cover is at 100%, so you may want to plan your activities accordingly. The UV index is low, so no special protection is needed, and the air quality is excellent, with an AQI of 35. If you're planning to go fishing or paddleboarding, the calm winds and low UV index make it a good day to get out on the water, but be sure to check the tide times and plan your trip wisely.
As we look ahead to the rest of the day, the conditions are expected to remain largely unchanged, with no rain expected and the temperature remaining cool. The Tornado Watch remains in effect, so please stay vigilant and keep an eye on the latest updates. Despite the dramatic weather, the excellent surf conditions and beautiful coastal scenery make it a great day to get out and enjoy the beach, and I hope you have a wonderful day at the coast, whether you're surfing, running, or just soaking up the atmosphere.
