Strong swells are rocking the St. Paul's Bay area know as tal-Għasselin and is-Simenta, with boat owners urged to keep an eye on their vessels. 

Video posted to a boating group on Facebook shows waves crashing to the shore, as small vessels sway in the background. Another video shows swells around the Gillieru area of St Paul's Bay, with other reports of strong swells in Baħar ic-Cagħaq and Sliema. 

"It's a bit like a washing machine," was one reader's description of the sea. Another told Times of Malta that a couple of small boats had capsized in the rough seas. 

Meteorologists had predicted a low north-east swell for today.
