🌊 Damaging Heavy Swells Expected from Thursday
Residents, mariners, fishers, and coastal communities in the southwest of Viti Levu, Lau Waters, Koro Sea, and Kadavu Passage are advised to exercise extreme caution as damaging heavy swells of up to 4.0 metres are expected to develop from Thursday.
Heavy swells can create dangerous sea conditions, strong currents, and large breaking waves along exposed coastlines, even when weather conditions appear fair.
⚠️ Safety Advice:
• Avoid unnecessary activities near exposed coastlines, reefs, and seawalls.
• Small craft operators and fishers should closely monitor weather and marine updates before heading out to sea.
• Swimmers and recreational users are urged to stay out of affected waters.
• Secure boats and coastal property where necessary.
• Follow advice issued by local authorities and emergency agencies.
Stay informed by monitoring the latest forecasts, warnings, and advisories issued by the Fiji Meteorological Service.
