A level 4 warning for damaging winds covers the coastline from Plettenberg Bay to just south of Durban, while a level 2 warning for damaging waves covers the coastline from south of Durban to Richards Bay.

This follows the NSRI’s new moon spring tide warning, issued on Friday, effective until middle of next week.

Sea Rescue urged beach-goers, bathers, boaters, sailors and shore anglers to exercise extreme caution during the higher-than-normal high tides and lower-than-normal low tides.
