04.01.2022 A large swell of between 1.5 2.5m is forecast from Cape Otway to the South Australian border over the coming days. This can result in larger/more powerful wav...es or sets that could come as a surprise to fishers, boaters or beachgoers. If you’re planning on heading to the coast, make safety your priority and plan before you go. You may need to modify your trip. Always swim between the red and yellow flags at patrolled locations, wear a lifejacket while fishing or boating and carry appropriate safety equipment such as a mobile phone and/or EPIRB. Even if you don’t intend on entering the sea, you should never take your eyes off the surf.
