Best Beaches:

It’s full moon tomorrow night, and there’s big morning high tides. From mid morning to mid afternoon, when the increased volume of water draining off the beach as the tide ebbs, rips and sweep working in and around the inshore holes and gutters will be enhanced
Check along the tide line for bluebottles before you go in the water, look for stinger warning signs in the patrolled areas, or ask a lifeguard if there’s been any about. If you are stung seek help from the beach patrol
