Is the runaway bay weather radar showing any storms?

How does Runaway Bay’s weather compare to the rest of the gold coast weather?

Should I expect strong winds for boating tomorrow?

No. The forecast shows a light easterly at 10–15 km/h, ideal for inshore boating on the Broadwater. Check the live forecast above for any wind shifts later in the day, but conditions look settled.
