Prepare for king tides throughout next week

Published: 15 Feb 2019

King tides will be experienced during the next week causing localised tidal flooding.

Residents should avoid parking cars in low-lying tidal areas and never drive through floodwaters.

Motorists are reminded that tidal flooding is saltwater, which can cause damage to cars. Driving through floodwaters also generates small waves that may travel into properties causing inconvenience and potential damage.

King tide levels for Cairns are expected at the following times (other areas may vary):
