The SSE swell in the 3-4ft range with bigger sets and light offshore WSW early. The winds are forecast to be WSW later so it will be offshore all day and the tide is dropping to a low at 10am. Fun waves again today with offshore winds all day, there is a lot of water moving around so it is best suited to the experienced.
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.
