Live AI Coastal Briefing
Saturday, July 11, is shaping up to be a beautiful day at the coast, with partly cloudy skies and a temperature of 72°F. The high humidity is making it feel a bit muggy, but that's not uncommon for this time of year. As we head into the day, the very high humidity of 89% will likely keep things feeling warm and sticky.
The ocean conditions are looking great for surfers, with waves at 1.4 feet, which is perfect for beginners. The water temperature is a warm 74°F, making boardshorts a great choice for those heading into the water. However, it's essential to check with the lifeguard on duty before entering the water, as rip current data is unavailable today. Additionally, be sure to check the local tide chart for low and high tide times to plan your beach activities accordingly.
For those looking to stay active, the 5mph wind from the WNW and 36% cloud cover make for a great day to get outdoors. Runners, cyclists, and paddleboarders will enjoy the calm conditions, while fishermen will appreciate the gentle breeze. However, with moderate air quality and an AQI of 56, sensitive individuals may want to limit their outdoor exercise. The low UV index of 0.05 means you don't need to take any special precautions, but it's always a good idea to wear some protection when spending time outside.
As we head into the afternoon and evening, the partly cloudy skies are expected to continue, with no rain expected today. While we don't have specific temperature forecasts for the rest of the day, the current conditions suggest it will remain warm and pleasant. With the classic summer cottage character of our barrier island community, there's plenty to enjoy, from flat water bay activities to ocean swimming. Whatever your plans, make the most of this beautiful summer day and enjoy all that our coastal community has to offer.
