Coastal Hazard Warning
for ABNORMALLY HIGH TIDES

for parts of Adelaide Metropolitan, Mount Lofty Ranges, Lower Eyre Peninsula, Eastern Eyre Peninsula, Yorke Peninsula, Mid North and Flinders districts.

Issued at 4:21 pm Tuesday, 24 June 2025.


Abnormally High Tides expected on Tuesday's high tide

Weather Situation
A cold front is moving over South Australian coastal waters during this evening, generating strong to gale-force southwesterly winds that are expected to produce elevated surf and higher than normal sea levels.
ABNORMALLY HIGH TIDES for the following areas:
Adelaide Metropolitan, Mount Lofty Ranges, Lower Eyre Peninsula, Eastern Eyre Peninsula, Yorke Peninsula, Flinders and Mid North
ABNORMALLY HIGH TIDES may lead to sea water flooding of low-lying coastal areas in the Spencer Gulf and Gulf St Vincent on Tuesday. Tides are likely to rise WELL ABOVE the normal high tide mark during the late afternoon and evening high tides.
At the Outer Harbour tide gauge, the sea level is expected to reach between 3.6-3.8m above the lowest astronomical tide (LAT). Sea levels are not expected to be as high as observed in late May.
The high sea level and windy conditions will combine to generate heavy surf along Adelaide beaches, which may lead to localised damage and coastal erosion.
Abnormally High Tides are expected to ease by later this evening.
A separate Severe Weather Warning for DAMAGING WINDS is also current. Please refer to http://www.bom.gov.au/sa/warnings/
Locations which may be affected include Port Lincoln, Whyalla, Port Augusta, Port Pirie, Port Wakefield and Victor Harbor.


The State Emergency Service advises the following:
* Unusually high tides are dangerous to swimmers, surfers and rock fishers. Stay away from coastal areas until conditions subside.
* Know your limitations around beaches, tidal rivers and creeks. Monitor warnings and conditions. Supervise children at all times.
* If you have a moored boat or watercraft, check that your mooring and lines are secure.
* Be aware that unusually high tides could cause flooding at the coast.
* You should never walk, ride or drive through floodwater.

The next Coastal Hazard Warning will be issued by 11:00 pm ACST Tuesday.
Warnings are also available through TV and Radio broadcasts, the Bureau's website at www.bom.gov.au or call 1300 659 210. The Bureau and State Emergency Service would appreciate warnings being broadcast regularly.
