The Bureau of Meteorology (BoM) is forecasting a large ocean swell for the southern Australian coast, with hopes the conditions could help “flush out” the toxic algal bloom that has devastated marine life in South Australia.
A senior BoM meteorologist Angus Hines said the southern coast would experience sizeable waves, which midweek began in Western Australia before spreading across to the SA coast and would reach into parts of Victoria and Tasmania by Saturday.
