Monster waves are expected this weekend and have forced the closure of two Durban beaches, <\/p>\n
ETHEKWINI Municipality has temporarily closed Country Club and eThekwini beaches after the South African Weather Bureau and Sharks Board warned of high seas and adverse weather conditions which will hit Durban at the weekend. <\/p>\n
The Sharks Board will lift the shark nets at the two beaches. <\/p>\n
The city said it would monitor all other beaches and should it become necessary to close any other beaches, the public would be notified accordingly.The bad weather comes after high seas and gale force winds lashed the Cape this week leaving many people homeless and causing damage to homes and businesses. <\/p>\n
Earlier this week the SA Weather Service also sent out warning of expected gale force winds and high seas which were being exacerbated by the current spring tide. <\/p>\n
The spring tide has made the sea fuller, which means we can expect high seas. We urge people to stay out of the ocean, said the South African Weather Service. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
