Many south-east Queensland beaches have closed and at least five people have been left stranded by floodwaters as Tropical Cyclone Seth pounds the coastline.

It has led to the closing of all Gold Coast beaches between Burleigh Heads to Main Beach and 14 Sunshine Coast beaches.

Emergency services rushed to Rocksberg, east of Caboolture, just before midday to reports of multiple vehicles being stuck with people inside.

The Rescue 500 helicopter assisted those who were stranded, and there are claims nobody was injured or at risk.

Gold Coast Mayor Tom Tate says his council is doing flood modelling and preparing to activate its Disaster Management Centre if conditions worsen over the next 48 hours.
