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. The humidity is very high at 93%, making for muggy conditions, and the wind is blowing at 10mph from the north, gusting up to 21mph. This is a great day to get outdoors and enjoy the coastal scenery, despite the gloomy skies.
The ocean is looking powerful today, with a surf height of 6.5 feet, making it suitable for experienced surfers only. The water temperature is a comfortable 65°F, making a spring suit a good choice for those planning to get in the water. However, rip current data is unavailable, so swimmers should be sure to check with the lifeguard on duty before entering the water. It's also a good idea to check the local tide chart for low and high tide times to plan your beach activities.
For those looking to stay active today, the wind and cloud cover might make it a good day for running or cycling, as the UV index is low and you won't have to worry about sunburn. Fishing and paddleboarding are also great options, but be sure to time your activities around the tides and wind. However, sensitive individuals should limit their outdoor exercise due to the moderate air quality, with an AQI of 51. The flat harbour roads are a great place to get in a morning cycle before the boat traffic picks up.
As we look ahead to the rest of the day, the temperature is expected to rise, but the high temperature is unfortunately unavailable. With no rain expected today or tonight, it should be a great day to get out and enjoy the beach and the water. The NHC is also monitoring the tropical Atlantic for potential development, but for now, it's just a reminder to always stay informed about the weather. Whatever your plans are for the day, make sure to stay safe and enjoy the beautiful coastal scenery.
