It should be a partly cloudy with a top temperature of 30 degrees. There's a big morning high tide due to Saturday night's full moon and it will be ebbing from mid morning through the afternoon, As the larger than usual volume of water drains off the beach, rips and sweep working in and around the inshore holes and gutters will be enhanced, so swim in the patrolled areas marked by the red and yellow flags. Check along the water's edge for bluebottles before you go in for a swim, or ask the beach patrols if there's any stingers
