The South African Weather Service (SAWS) has warned of damaging waves along coastal areas in the Western Cape, Eastern Cape and KwaZulu-Natal.
Strong winds are also forecast for some parts of the Eastern Cape.
Impact-based warnings
- Yellow level 2: Damaging waves along coastal areas from Saldanha Bay to East London and along the KwaZulu-Natal coast may disrupt navigation, put small vessels at risk, and cause localised disruptions to ports and harbours.
- Yellow level 2: Strong winds between Cannon Rocks and East London could make navigation difficult.
In the SAWS’ colour-coded weather warning system, yellow indicates a moderate risk of impact that requires caution and awareness, while orange indicates that higher-risk impact is expected, requiring increased attention and preparation.
The SAWS uses the numbers to indicate the likelihood of weather-based impacts occurring. Levels 2 and 6 are high, and Level 4 is low.
