WARNING FORECAST NOTES
- All wind speeds are in knots.
- Wind speeds quoted are the expected average speeds. Individual gusts may exceed these values by a factor of 1.5.
- Wave heights are given in metres.
- Wave heights are significant wave height, which may be accompanied by individual waves 1.5 to 2.0 times higher.
- No sea state prediction is given if the expected wave heights are less than 2 meters.
- These estimates of winds and waves do not take into account the enhancing effects
of the Agulhas Current off the South African east coast.
