You can expect damaging heavy swells from tomorrow that may result in coastal flooding along the coastal areas of Southern Viti Levu from Natadola through to Coral Coast to Pacific Harbour, southern coastal areas of Mamanuca Group, Beqa, Kadavu, Vatulele, Southern Lomaiviti Group, Moala Group and Southern Lau Group.

Fiji Meteorological Service says a damaging heavy swell alert is currently in force for open waters of Kadavu and nearby smaller islands, Beqa, Vatulele, Southern Koro Sea and Southern Lau waters.

This is due to a low pressure system to the far south of Fiji that is expected to direct damaging heavy swells over the southern parts of Fiji waters from tomorrow.

It says this combined with the King Tide that is also anticipated to occur tomorrow could increase the chances of coastal sea flooding.

Those living along coastal areas are advised to remain cautious and vigilant of coastal inundation of debris especially during high tides.

Sea conditions can also be dangerous for small boats as it can capsize due to large waves and rough seas.
