Monday, October 12, is shaping up to be a beautiful day along the coast, with a unique blend of cool temperatures and exciting surf conditions. The current temperature is 58°F, with a heavy overcast and very high humidity, making for a muggy morning. As the day begins, the sound of the waves and the smell of the ocean will greet you, setting the tone for a fantastic day ahead.



The ocean is calling, with a surf height of 4.7 feet, making for waist to chest high, solid surf that's perfect for surfers of all levels. With the water temperature at 65°F, a spring suit will be comfortable for those planning to spend time in the water. However, please note that rip current data is unavailable today, so it's essential to check with the lifeguard on duty before entering the water. Additionally, be sure to check the local tide chart for low and high tide times to plan your day accordingly.



For those looking to stay active, the 9mph wind from the north and 100% cloud cover might make for a great morning run or cycle, with the added bonus of low UV index, eliminating the need for special protection. Fishing and paddleboarding enthusiasts will also find the conditions suitable, although sensitive individuals may want to limit their outdoor exercise due to the moderate air quality, with an AQI of 54. The long, flat boardwalk is an ideal spot for a run or cycle, offering stunning ocean views, especially before 8 am when the crowds are smaller.



As we look ahead to the rest of the day, the high temperature is expected to reach near unknown levels, with no rain expected, making for a fantastic day to enjoy the beach and all it has to offer. With the NHC monitoring tropical development in the basin, it's always a good idea to stay informed, but for now, it's all about enjoying the beautiful coastal weather. Whether you're surfing, running, or simply soaking up the sun, make the most of this lovely day and take in all the beauty our coastal town has to offer.
