SSE swell 3-4ft. at 9 secs. Fresh WNW winds early. The S swell is a bit smaller in the 3-4ft range with offshore winds early. WSW winds are forecast later and the tide is dropping to a low just before 10am. Clean conditions with some very nice waves about and the winds will be offshore all day. Points and reefs handling the straight swell the best.
The NSW lifesaving patrol season ended on Sunday 28 April, however Nobby’s and Bar Beach are still patrolled by council lifeguards 7 days a week.
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.
