NSW Maritime has issued an alert to boat skippers following a forecast for dangerous surf conditions.
The forecast is for dangerous surf conditions lingering on the Byron Coast during Wednesday 24 August.
NSW Maritime advises skippers and owners of small craft to be on high alert and to check the conditions before considering heading onto exposed waters or offshore.
Dangerous surf conditions can easily translate into dangerous conditions for rock fishing and for vessels crossing coastal bars.
Every skipper is responsible for the safety of their vessel and all on board, and NSW Maritime advises skippers to: • Check the official weather before and during boating; • Ensure the boat and its equipment is suitable for the conditions; • Log on/ off with a Marine Rescue marine radio base for every trip offshore; and • Wear a lifejacket.
