Tides: High and low tide times as heavy rain hits

Coastal communities and visitors should stay alert and avoid exposed areas when conditions deteriorate.

SAWS says the heavy rain along the KwaZulu-Natal South Coast could worsen flooding in low-lying coastal areas.

High tide could also slow the drainage of floodwater into the sea, making conditions more difficult around rivers, roads and settlements near the coast.
