The S swell in the 3-4ft range with light offshore WNW early. The winds are forecast to go SW later so it will be offshore all day and the tide is droping to a low at 9.10am. Fun waves again today with offshore winds all day and it will improve later in the morning on the incoming tide.
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.
