Mariners cautioned of dangerous winds along the Western Cape coast

# Coastal communities and mariners have been warned of dangerous winds along the Western Cape coast until midday today. The South African Weather Service has issued a Yellow Level 2 warning for strong, damaging winds along the coast between Hermanus and Lambert’s Bay. These conditions are driven by the region’s powerful south-easterly wind, known for affecting maritime activity. Mariners, especially those using small boats or watercraft, are at risk due to rough seas and possible capsizing.
