Messy onshore conditions with ESE winds and 3ft + of SE swell. The winds are forecast to go E later, so it is not very inviting this morning. You can try the S corners on the dropping tide if you're desperate.
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.
