What You Should Do
Unusually high tides are dangerous to swimmers, surfers and rock fishers. Stay away from coastal areas until conditions subside. Know your limitations around beaches, tidal rivers and creeks. Monitor warnings and conditions. Supervise children at all times. If you have a moored boat or watercraft, check that your mooring and lines are secure. Be aware that unusually high tides could cause flooding at the coast. Never walk, ride or drive through floodwater.
Expected Conditions
A deep low-pressure system is forecast to track eastward near the South Australian coast on Monday before moving over Bass Strait on Tuesday, bringing strong to gale-force westerly winds and elevated sea levels. Abnormally high tides which may lead to sea water flooding of low-lying coastal areas are possible.
Timeline
Tides are likely to rise well above the normal high tide mark during the Tuesday afternoon high tide. The next Coastal Hazard Warning will be issued by 5:00 pm ACST Monday.
