Acting Gold Coast Chief Superintendent Peter Miles warns the city has issued a disaster declaration, giving police extra powers to enforce community safety and slap people with fines to up to $16,000 for 'reckless actions'. Surfers and beachgoers are risking their lives at Gold Coast beaches as record-breaking waves batter the shores, with police saying those ignoring warnings face $16,000 on-the-spot fines. 'No photograph or video is worth your life,' a Gold Coast City Council spokesperson warned.

'Although the large waves may be exciting to witness, we need everyone to stay well away from coastal areas for your own safety. 'Increasing winds will see conditions deteriorate further and conditions become more dangerous.' Several men in their 20s and early 30s were swimming off Main Beach and Surfers Paradise just before 8am.

People continued to flock to the beaches throughout the day to see the swell. As the wild weather ramped up from 11am, police began patrols along Surfers Paradise telling beachgoers to move on. Gabby headed out to Snapper Rocks at 2pm.

David Crisafulli is savaging the 'handful of idiots' who have created unnecessary headaches for emergency services by venturing into the swelling seas. The Queensland Premier says that, in once instance, precious resources had to be wasted rescuing a jet-skier after they ignored warnings. 'You have a handful of idiots who do that, and in the end, they don't just put themselves at risk, they put the emergency services who may have to go and rescue them at risk as well,' he said.
