We're coming to you live from one of Australia's most iconic beaches, where the high-energy surf and complex rip systems make for an exciting day ahead. The international coastal culture is buzzing, and we're expecting a great day for all you beachgoers and water enthusiasts out there.\n\nThe ocean conditions are looking pretty wild, with a wave height of 1.72 metres, which is definitely suitable for experienced surfers only. The water temperature is a pleasant 20.7 degrees Celsius, so you'll want to grab your spring suit or rashie before heading out. We've got a high tide coming in at 5:30 pm, with a height of 1.9 metres, and a low tide at 11:07 am, with a height of -1.8 metres.\n\nIf you're planning on hitting the waves or the coastal path, now's the time to get out there. Surfers, as I mentioned, the waves are looking powerful and overhead, so make sure you're experienced enough to tackle them. Runners and cyclists, the partly cloudy skies and 17 degrees Celsius temperature make for perfect conditions, and with a gentle breeze of 11 km/h from the SSE, you'll be nice and cool. Anglers, the conditions are looking good for you too, and paddleboarders, just be mindful of those complex rip systems.\n\nAs we head into the afternoon, we're expecting plenty of sunshine and no chance of rain, with a UV index that's currently low, so no special protection is needed. The wind will continue to blow at 11 km/h from the SSE, with gusts of up to 23 km/h, so just be aware of that if you're planning on being out on the water. All in all, it's shaping up to be a fantastic day here at the coast, so get out there and make the most of it, and we'll catch you back here tomorrow with another update.","ai_headline":null,"ai_safety":null,"live_updates":"","alert_box":"{\"level\":\"Yellow Alert\",\"level_code\":\"yellow\",\"type\":\"Strong Coastal Winds\",\"message\":\"ACTIVE Yellow Alert - Strong Coastal Winds\",\"headline\":\"Strong Coastal Winds\",\"safety_message\":\"Strong coastal winds detected.
