Fiji's Meterological Service says a heavy swell generated by a high pressure system over the Tasman Sea was responsible for a giant wave which reached Sigatoka's highway.A Fiji Rugby team, which witnessed the wave hit, has told the Fiji Broadcasting Corporation it went right over their car and left fish and debris on the highway.
Rajneel Prasad from the Fiji Meterological Service is urging people in Fiji to secure boats and other belongings and says more waves are expected at high tide.
"It must have coincided with the high tide that was at 8am this morning, and we can expect similiar stuff to happen at around 9pm when the high tide comes back again and probably another one at 9am tomorrow morning when we have a two metre high tide," he said. Source
