    <description>High tides are expected to cause flooding today.  Flooding is expected from 15:00 to 21:00 on 25/10/2026.  Flooding at the coast and overtopping waves is possible in the coming days due to strong winds associated with storm Bolelo and high astronomical tides. Locations most affected will be coastal roads, footpaths and foreshore areas.  We are closely monitoring the situation .  Avoid coastal roads, footpaths and carparks, which may be flooded. stay away from promenades where wave and spray overtopping is possible.  This message will be updated by 10:00PM on Sunday 25 October or as the situation changes.</description>
