good morning and welcome back to darwin on this very soggy boxing day morning
yesterday christmas day we were under a cyclone
watch which did develop into a cyclone warning however during the evening it crossed
a little bit below dundee as a low it didn't even develop into a cyclone
so what we've got this morning is a lot of drizzling rain with the odd shower very mild winds
they expect them to continue for two or three days
so this morning we're going to go for a drive to the nightcliff jetty and boat ramp
uh just to have a look at what's happening at the at the foreshore
we are expecting high tide probably within the next hour
and today's high tide will be 5.5 meters so not the highest but we might see a few waves
the rain is constantly
see what's happening it's coming up to high tide
around 9 30 9 45
pretty good vibes
about 26 degrees this morning
okay we're just coming up to the nightcliff foreshore jetty and boat ramp just on our left
here trees not swaying about too much so a mild breeze we'll just pull in here and have a look
this is the first low that possibly could have turned into a cyclone uh this year
and it has dropped the temperature down to around 26 27 degrees
so it's very pleasant very high humidity but uh it's quite nice with the lower temperature
you will get many people in this area
uh at sunset mostly in the dry season that's sunset park right in front of us there
okay so i've just walked down to the boat ramp
so we're getting close to the high tide mark when it does come in at seven or eight meters
it will completely cover the rocks on the left and most of the ones on the right
so it's just a protected area where you can put your your fishing boat in in relative safety
so this is the uh recently renovated nightcliff jetty
it does cop a bit of a battering in the wet season
a lot of people like to go fishing out on it
not great conditions for it today of course
these rocks have eroded quite a bit over the last 30 years or so
quite large chunks break off from time to time
they initially predicted that the low would reach um the nt coastline not necessarily darwin
this morning but it did cross approximately seven or eight o'clock last night still as a low
and is currently heading east will go through arnhem land and back out into the gulf is their
predicted path so we will get light rains and probably light breeze for the next few days
okay we're just around the corner a little bit now
this inlet quite often you get a decent surge coming up here
so
okay i've just had to change cameras
uh here we're getting a little bit more rain so i've just got my uh little kogan action cam
so we'll just have a bit more of a look the tide has come in a little bit further at the moment
i'll probably do a part two to this uh this scene here at nightclub foreshore uh just around the
corner to our right is the nightcliff beach and i notice there's a few guys out there with their
surfboards so uh i might duck around there and take a look so uh i might do that in part two
of this video so thanks for watching and we'll see you next time bye
