It is, and I didn't dress for this kind of weather. I'll be better prepared tomorrow.

Probably never too early. Water is an asset.

They might hold off charging more due to local elections 4 Nov. Other parties will use increased water charges against the DA. I expect straight after to have significant increase in water KL costs
(and bare in mind official hydrological year end 30 Oct, National only probably going to tell CoCT to cut water usage after 1 Nov, if below 80%)

Worthwhile going to Seapoint Promenade to see some big waves tomorrow?

No, not at all. Cutoff-lows do not produce the same kind of wave patterns as winter cold-fronts. The wind direction is different, and there is no deep surface low. In fact there is a high pressure cell situated south of CT during this event. False Bay may be completely different to Sea Point though (see last weekend's Kalk Bay photos).
