Africa-Press – South-Africa. <\/strong><\/span>The South African Weather Service has issued a yellow level 2 warning for damaging waves and wind over some parts of the Western Cape.<\/p>\n

The areas include Mossel Bay, Saldanha Bay, Table Bay, George, Cape Point, Cape Agulhas, Hermanus and large parts of the Garden Route.<\/p>\n

“Along the coast, difficulty in navigation at sea due to quick, successive, steep waves is likely,” the weather service warned.<\/p>\n

“This may lead to small vessels and personal water craft [such as] kayaks taking on water and capsizing. Localised disruption to beachfront activities and short-term disruption to small harbours and ports is possible.”<\/p>\n

The weather service further advised small boats and personal water craft to stay away from the open sea and seek the shelter of a harbour, river estuary or protected bay.<\/p>\n

It posted its warning on Twitter.<\/p>\n

The weather service said:<\/p>\n

“The public, especially tourists who are not familiar with the coastal routes where build-up of sand is expected, are advised to seek alternatives routes beforehand.<\/p>\n

“Be aware of large and unpredictable waves along the coast. Small vessels are advised to seek shelter in harbours, bays or inlets.”<\/p>\n
