The key to being safe (as much as possible) is to be prepared in the face of the weather that is predicted. We have been busy checking mooring lines and making sure boats are as secure as can be. However it is up to owners to make sure on board fittings and fixtures are secured.
We have taken the extra precaution of taking our hire boats out of the water and securing them on the hardstand. In the event of torrential rain we do not want the boats filling with water. Boat owners should where possible check that on board bilge pumps are in good order and that no materials are in the bilge that make hinder their operation.
We have suspended hardstand operations until the weather clears. The marina will be staffed as normal and we are open for fuel in the event that it is required for emergency services and customers that may need it.
Going OK
The marina continues to cope well with the recent cyclone and subsequent weather event. We lost some roofing from the undercover storage and had damage to one mooring but apart from that things have been ok. Trees down and debris on site will be cleaned up when the weather settles. The rain has lifted the water level in the Clarence and as the attached image shows the “tide” on Sunday was well above the 1.54 metres predicted. As we write this there is about 400ml more water on the tide than predicted. Stay dry and safe.

WEATHER – March 2025
The weather is being the weather. The forecasts say we are in for a LOT of rain and very strong winds. The Marina is in a protected part of the Clarence River but that doesn’t mean we are immune from mother nature’s fury. Our staff are on duty during working hours and we do keen an eye on all boats. However mooring lines should be checked by owners when possible.
Our top wind gust as of 2PM Wednesday March 5 has been 74km/h. The table included shows the international scale for cyclone categories. It makes for sobering reading. Please be safe – on and off the water
