St Helena is still experiencing a north-westerly swell, resulting in unsettled sea conditions in both James and Rupert’s Bay.
Boat owners are advised to ensure their vessels are securely moored during this period.
Rupert’s Beach and the Jetty are now open, but the public are advised to exercise caution in these areas. Swimmers should exercise extreme caution when entering the water in James and Rupert’s Bay and refrain from using life rings and other lifesaving equipment for recreational swimming.
Vehicle owners are advised to avoid parking near the rails on the seafront and individuals are asked to use caution when in close proximity to the railings due to the potential risk of wave overspray and associated hazards.
The Emergency Planning Department will continue to monitor the situation closely and will provide further updates as necessary.
