For the winter season, the only beach on the northern beaches that is patrolled by Council Lifeguards is Manly. All other beaches in the area are not patrolled by volunteer surf lifesavers or the Australian Lifeguard Service.
Please do not take any risks. No Flags = No Swim!
If you do decide to venture into the water this winter please visit www.beachsafe.org.au.
Regular Beach Patrols will again commence on the first day of the September School Holidays.

Surfing Mums meet here!
Surfing mums is a network of women who surf and are mums (of course), but what sets them apart is that they still want to surf as much as we did before they had kids. Its not about how well you surf, or if you are a long boarder, short boarder, bodyboarder, body surfer or learning to surf. It's about getting wet and having fun!
