A Yellow Level 2 alert was sent out for areas between Port Edward and Kosi Bay. 

 

"We had a cold front that passed over KZN and that came with strong damaging winds, around 70 kilometres per hour on average and what that does is over the ocean it generates waves which might cause some damages," says forecaster Siphesihle Dlamini.

"We are expecting the waves to average at least about 5.5 metres, and they might reach 6 metres as the wave height, more especially between Durban and Richards Bay."
