Live AI Coastal Briefing
Today will see temperatures rise steadily from 20°C this morning to a peak of 31°C mid-afternoon before falling to 25°C by 8pm. Winds will pick up throughout the day, starting light at 7km/h from the east-southeast early on, then shifting southeast and increasing to 19km/h by mid-afternoon, with gusts reaching 37km/h. These winds will ease slightly towards evening but remain strong at 15km/h. It will feel cooler than the actual temperature due to the wind chill effect. Expect partly cloudy skies all day. There will be no rain.
The ocean presents active surf conditions with waves ranging from 1.3m to 1.5m throughout the day, suitable for experienced surfers. Swimming may be challenging due to the wave height and strong currents typical of this coast. Water temperature is 17.9°C, so a spring wetsuit is recommended for comfort. Snorkelers should exercise caution due to the wave conditions and strong currents. Visibility underwater may be reduced due to surge.
For activities, morning hours offer the calmest conditions with light winds at 7km/h, ideal for cycling and running. Surfing and snorkeling can be attempted but expect stronger currents. As the day progresses, increasing winds from the southeast will make cycling and running more challenging, especially during the afternoon when gusts reach 37km/h. Surfers should find consistent waves from the northwest, with the best conditions likely in the afternoon when waves reach 1.5m. Kite sports may be possible in the afternoon given the strong winds, but beginners should avoid the higher gusts.
