Weather Situation

Weather Situation: A low near Gold Coast waters will deepen during today, bringing vigorous southerly winds and large, powerful southeasterly waves to the coast before the low moves away to the east during Monday.

LARGE AND POWERFUL SURF CONDITIONS are likely to develop from this evening, which may lead to coastal erosion and localised damage to coastal infrastructure between Cape Morton and the New South Wales border.

Beach conditions in these areas could be dangerous and people should stay well away from the surf and surf exposed areas.

These conditions are expected to ease by Monday afternoon.

Locations which may be affected include Gold Coast, and ocean-facing coasts of Moreton and North Stradbroke Islands.

Emergency services advise people to:

  • * Know your limitations around beaches, tidal rivers and creeks. Adhere to warning from lifesavers and lifeguards .
  • * If you have a boat or water craft, haul out if possible or check your moorings are secure.
  • * If you have children make sure they are within arm's reach around the water.
