This surf activity is intensifying and sea bathers and other users of the sea should exercise extreme caution. It is recommended to use beaches with an on-duty lifeguard.

This activity is expected to persist into Monday 12th February.

Exercise extreme caution at the beaches, particularly along the western coasts. – If venturing into the water, ensure there is an on-duty lifeguard. – Secure objects that can be swept away by the breaking wave activity.
