2. Cautions. In strong W gales, the whole area between the outlying rocks off Noirmont Point is a confused mass of breakers; marks at sea level, the beacons marking rocks may be obscured by driving spray.
When navigating the passages leading through the reefs, particular attention should be paid to the following: the height of tide, as some of the recommended tracks pass close to or over shallow patches; the strong set of the tidal streams across the reefs in an E and W direction; the difficulty in identifying some leading marks in poor visibility and without local knowledge.
