The City has reopened the beaches between Muizenberg and Monwabisi this morning since the removal of the Southern Right Whale carcass yesterday afternoon; however a high shark caution remains in place.
Red flags will remain flying at Shark Spotter beaches for the duration of the day.
Capricorn beach remains closed for the next few days until the whale blood and oil has dispersed sufficiently.
Water users in False Bay are advised to exercise extreme caution as the potential for increased shark activity in the area still remains.
Spotting conditions are appalling at the moment, and the wind is only going to get stronger for the rest of the day.
Beach users are advised that the general caution will remain in place until further notice.
An appeal is made to all water users to be vigilant at this time, obey the shark siren, and to take note of the Shark Spotters’ flags and signage for regular updates on shark sightings.
