BOM also issued a severe weather warning from Wide Bay to the southeast coast with high tides expected to reach an “astronomical peak” over the next few days, easing on Wednesday.

Gold Coast Mayor Tom Tate said authorities were doing some modelling on Saturday to see what impact the expected high tide would have on low lying areas.Wild conditions forced Surf Life Saving Queensland to close 14 beaches on the Sunshine Coast on Saturday afternoon.
