Skippers and owners of small craft should be on high alert and check the conditions before considering crossing a coastal bar or heading offshore on Saturday, July 22
Rock fishers should also check weather forecasts before heading out to make informed decisions about fishing near the expected dangerous surf.
Strong winds can also cause damage to vessels on moorings which have been poorly maintained.
Every skipper is responsible for the safety of their vessel and all on board. Roads and Maritime advises skippers to:
- Check the official weather forecast before and during boating and ‘if in doubt, don’t go out’
- Ensure the boat and its equipment is suitable for the conditions
- Log on/off with a Marine Rescue NSW marine radio base for every trip offshore
- Wear a lifejacket.
