Semi clean conditions in the Bay this morning with up to 1ft of swell from the SSE and the wind is from the WSW early, with winds forecast to stay offshore all day. Try the open beaches and S swell magnets for the best waves today.
The NSW lifesaving patrol season ended on Sunday 28 April, however Salt Resort main beach is still patrolled by lifeguards 7 days a week. Byron Main Beach will be patrolled by lifeguards 7 days a week until 9 June, 2013.
Please do not take any risks during the off-season period. No Flags = No Swim! The majority of beach patrols will again commence on the first day of the September School Holidays.
