All users of the sea, particularly small craft operators and persons living near the coast, are advised to exercise extreme caution. Sea bathers should stay out of the water.
Wind gusts in excess of 55 km/h can be expected. These high winds will also create hazardous conditions and some activities on land will become dangerous.
A Small Craft Warning means that wind speeds of 25 knots (46km/h) or higher
