Shoreline Conditions Statement
Water Safety
The Saugeen Valley Conservation Authority (SVCA) advises that a gale wind warning is in effect for the Lake Huron shoreline. By this evening, sustained wind speeds of 60 km/hr are expected from the south but will quickly change direction overnight to the west. Westerly winds gusting up to 90 km/hr will continue into Wednesday evening. Waves are expected to build to heights of 3 to 4m at this time.
Please note that strong winds and saturated soils will increase the risk of erosion along the Lake Huron shoreline. While significant shoreline flooding is not anticipated, wave uprush, shoreline erosion and flooding of low-lying areas is expected. Residents and municipal officials are reminded to stay well back from the Lake Huron shoreline at this time. Municipal staff are recommended to monitor problem areas into Thursday with forecast conditions.
Saugeen Conservation staff will be closely monitoring the situation and will provide an update if conditions change. This message will remain in place until 10:00 pm on Thursday December 1, 2022.
