A hazardous Seas Alert is now in effect.
it will come to an end on Friday at 4pm.
The Met Service says the sea state along the northern and eastern exposed coastal areas, including offshore
regions, are expected to deteriorate to rough conditions, with wave heights reaching up to 3 meters.
This is due to relatively strong winds which have been agitating the sea surface, leading to
large waves and potentially dangerous sea condtions.
There is an increased risk of strong rip currents, posing a serious hazard to swimmers and beachgoers. Rip currents can be life-threatening even for experienced swimmers.
Agitated seas are likely to be particularly perilous for offshore activities.
This includes fishing and other small craft marine interests.
Due to the presence of spring tides, conditions at seawalls along affected coastlines can be
exacerbated, especially at high tide.
All marine interests are advised to exercise extreme caution.
Beachgoers are urged to heed the instructions of lifeguards and those in authority.
