Live AI Coastal Briefing
Monday, October 12, is shaping up to be a cool and overcast day at the coast, 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 with gusts up to 22mph. This should make for an interesting day for outdoor activities.
The surf is looking solid today, with waves reaching 4.8 feet, or waist to chest high, making it a great day for surfers to catch some waves. With the water temperature at 65°F, a spring suit should be comfortable for those planning to spend time 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. For those planning to explore the tidal zones, be sure to check the local tide chart for low and high tide times.
For runners, cyclists, and paddleboarders, the 10mph wind from the north and 100% cloud cover may make for a cooler and more comfortable morning workout. However, with the UV index being low, no special protection is needed. Fishermen may want to take advantage of the calm morning hours to try their luck. Due to moderate air quality, with an AQI of 51, sensitive individuals may want to limit their outdoor exercise, especially during peak sun hours. The overcast conditions may also make for a great day to try some beach volleyball or other outdoor games.
As we look ahead to the rest of the day, the high temperature is expected to reach near unknown levels, and there is no rain expected. With the lack of sunshine and cool temperatures, it may be a great day to explore the local community, take a bike ride between the bay and ocean shores, or try some other outdoor activities that don't require warm weather. Whatever your plans, stay safe, enjoy the cool coastal breeze, and make the most of your day by the ocean.
