A damaging heavy swell alert is in force for Kadavu and nearby smaller islands, Beqa, Vatulele, Southern Koro sea, and southern Lau waters.

The Fiji Meteorological Service says a low-pressure system to the far South of Fiji is expected to direct damaging heavy swells over the Southern parts of Fiji waters from tomorrow.

“Expect wave periods of up to 14 to 16s, wave length of 300 to 380 metres,” said Fiji Met.

The damaging heavy swells developing will affect the areas until Thursday.

“Possible impacts include hazardous breaking waves and dangerous rip current reaching low lying coastal areas.

“High risk for large vessels with length of more than 100m.”
