It is looking good with the SSE swell in the 3-4ft range on the open beaches and light offshore W early. The winds are forecast to be SSW later and the tide is high early, dropping to a low at 10.50am. Fun waves again today with offshore winds early, get out there.
The NSW lifesaving patrol season ended on Sunday 28 April, however the following beaches at Soldiers and Shelley Beach are still patrolled by council lifeguards 7 days a week until the end of May.
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.
