Severe Tropical Cyclone Oma is expected to bring more dangerous surf conditions and abnormally high tides as it moves closer to the southern Queensland coast, the weather bureau warns.

The category two weather system was about 1100 kilometres north-east of Brisbane on Wednesday morning, and moving slowly towards Australia.
Beaches on the Gold Coast have already been closed this week, with people urged not to enter the water. A strong tide created by the impending cyclone has brought waves of up to three metres and led to some coastal streets being inundated.
On Tuesday, the king tide north of Mackay caused some erosion at Midge Point, and the Pioneer River to flow into the nearby carpark.
