Best Beaches: The forecast is for a sunny day, so good for the beach, but remember to use sun protection. The best time for a swim will be this morning while the wind is light SW/S and the tide making. Swim only in the patrolled areas marked by the red and yellow flags, particularly this afternoon on the ebb tide, when the water draining off the beach will enhance the rips and sweep working around the inshore holes and gutters
