Water levels on the high tide could exceed the highest tide of the year by around half a metre on Sunday between Sandy Cape to Coolangatta. This could lead to minor flooding of the foreshore and coastal erosion. Water levels on the Monday morning high tide may exceed the highest tide of the year by less than half a metre and ease further into Tuesday but may start to increase again during the week depending on the movement of Tropical Cyclone Alfred. Damaging surf conditions leading to significant beach erosion are likely between Sandy Cape and Maroochydore, extending south to Gold Coast waters during the day. Damaging surf conditions are also likely to continue on Monday between Sandy Cape and Coolangatta, and may also continue throughout most of next week depending on the movement of Tropical Cyclone Alfred.
