Live forecasts update automatically; written guidance last reviewed 23 June 2026 by the Coast Monitor Weather Desk. Data from the Bureau of Meteorology (BOM) and other national met services via Open-Meteo.

Check the live forecast above for your local conditions. An Ecowitt weather station gives you hyperlocal readings you can trust, often differing from broad regional forecasts due to your specific topography and coastal exposure.

What does an Ecowitt weather station actually measure?

Ecowitt stations track temperature, humidity, barometric pressure, wind speed and direction, rainfall, and UV index. Models like the Ecowitt weather station ws90 add a sonic anemometer and an optical rain gauge for greater accuracy. Data transmits wirelessly to a console and, via your home network, to the Ecowitt app or services like Home Assistant. The ecowitt weather station wifi setup is straightforward using the GW1100 or GW2000 gateway, which bridges your sensors to the internet.

Why does a personal weather station matter for coastal weather?

Coastal microclimates shift abruptly. Sea breezes, onshore flow and local topography create conditions that the nearest Bureau of Meteorology station may miss. With an Ecowitt station you can check your own readings before heading out, compare them to the live forecast above, and decide if a severe weather warning applies to your exact location. The ecowitt weather station offline alert will notify you if the connection drops, so you know when data stops updating.
