The South African Weather Service (SAWS) has issued a yellow level 2 weather warning for parts of the Western and Northern Cape between 30 and 31 March.
The report indicates a south-westerly swell with wave heights of 4 and 6 meters between Cape Columbine and Cape Agulhas on Wednesday morning, spreading to Alexander Bay and Plettenberg Bay by the evening and into Thursday (30 and 31 March 2022). Wave heights will reportedly subsidise from Thursday night.
Impacts to be expected include localised disruptions of small harbours and ports for short periods, a risk of people being swept off rocks, and difficulty of navigation at sea for small vessels and personal water crafts (like kayaks). “This may lead to vessels taking on water and capsizing in locality,” the report notes.
The roads are very wet and visibility is poor due to the rain. Drive carefully, Cape {town} Etc family.
