What You Should Do

Expected Conditions
Abnormally high tides which may lead to sea water flooding of low-lying coastal areas are possible along the entire Victorian coast. Tides are likely to rise well above the normal high tide mark during the Wednesday afternoon and evening high tides. A deep low pressure system moving over Bass Strait brings strong to gale-force westerly winds and elevated sea levels.
