Cold W winds with a clean SSE swell today in the 3ft range and good conditions early. The winds are forecast to go stay offshore for most of the day, then swing S late. Try the open beaches early and the Southern protected corners for the best conditions.
The NSW lifesaving patrol season ended on Sunday 28 April.
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.
