Based on predictions from the Bureau of Meteorology, the following areas may be impacted by dangerous rips, waves and strong ocean currents in the marine environment and the possibility of only some localised overflow onto the immediate foreshore:
- Khyber downs, Sherwin St
- Angledool Rd
What you need to do:
- Boats in harbours, estuaries or shallow coastal water should return to shore. Secure your boat and move away from the waterfront.
- Vessels already out to sea should stay offshore in water at least 25 metres deep until further advised.
- Obey all signs about beach and foreshore closures and instructions from emergency services.
