{"location_id":"au-bondi","air_temp":11,"wind_speed":15,"wind_dir":"SW","humidity":65,"wave_height":2.72,"wave_period":null,"wave_dir":null,"water_temp":17.7,"uv_index":0,"aqi":29,"pressure":1028,"clouds":88,"visibility":null,"ai_report":"Thursday 17 September is shaping up to be a great day to get out and enjoy the beautiful coastal scenery, with the sound of the waves crashing against the shore and the smell of saltwater filling the air. The temperature is already at 11C, and it's expected to stay that way for most of the day, with a maximum temperature of 11C. The overcast conditions with 88% cloud cover are setting the tone for a relaxed day by the ocean.\n\nThe ocean conditions are quite rough, with wave heights reaching 2.72m, making it extremely large and dangerous for swimmers and surfers to venture into the water. The water temperature is a comfortable 17.7C, suitable for a spring suit, but the strong waves are the main concern. The tide is currently low, having peaked at 05:22 am, and will reach its high point at 12:04 pm with a height of 1.7m.\n\nFor all the sports enthusiasts out there, today might not be the best day for surfing due to the extremely large waves, but runners and cyclists can still enjoy the scenic coastal paths. Anglers can try their luck, and paddleboarders might want to consider alternative locations with calmer waters. The air quality is good, with an AQI of 29, making it suitable for outdoor activities like running and cycling. The low UV index also means that special protection is not needed, so you can enjoy the outdoors without worrying about the sun.\n\nAs we head into the afternoon, the temperature is expected to remain steady at 11C, with no chance of rain. The wind will continue to blow at 15 km/h from the SW, gusting up to 31 km/h, so it's a good idea to hold onto your hat. Despite the overcast conditions, it's still a great day to get out and enjoy the coastal lifestyle, whether you're swimming, surfing, or just taking a leisurely walk along the beach. So, grab your wetsuit, or your running shoes, and make the most of this beautiful day by the ocean.","ai_headline":null,"ai_safety":null,"live_updates":"","alert_box":"{\"level\": \"Orange Alert\", \"level_code\": \"orange\", \"css_class\": \"alert-orange\", \"type\": \"Marine Wind Warning, Hazardous Surf Warning, Gale Force Winds\", \"type_str\": \"Marine Wind Warning, Hazardous Surf Warning, Gale Force Winds\", \"types\": [\"Marine Wind Warning\", \"Hazardous Surf Warning\", \"Gale Force Winds\"], \"headline\": \"Marine Wind Warning, Hazardous Surf Warning, Gale Force Winds\", \"message\": \"ACTIVE Orange Alert - Marine Wind Warning, Hazardous Surf Warning, Gale Force Winds\", \"safety_message\": \"Marine wind warning in effect.
