There will be some extra time for a beach swim today, Tuesday 12 February 2019, with lifeguards extending their beach patrol hours.
Hours at 10 of our 17 patrolled beaches will be increased, with flags up until 7pm.
“Today is forecast to be particularly hot and we’ve decided to respond to this and provide people with opportunity to cool off safely in the surf for longer,’’ Wollongong City Council’s Beach Services Manager Paul Dreghorn said.
“We’ll keep the flags up until 7pm at 10 of our beaches including Stanwell Park, Austinmer, Corrimal, North and City Beach and at Port Kembla.
“So if you’re fancying a swim after school, work or just when the sun isn’t at its strongest, during the day we encourage everyone to make the most of the additional time. But remember, if there are no flags up, then there is no swim. We want everyone to enjoy our beaches safely.’’
The beaches with additional hours are:
Stanwell park – to 7pm Austinmer – to 7pm Thirroul – to 7pm Bulli – to 7pm Woonona to 7pm Corrimal – to 7pm Fairy Meadow – to 7pm North Wollongong – to 7pm City Beach – to 7pm Port Kembla – to 7pmFor more information visit Council’s website, www.wollongong.nsw.gov.au or contact our Customer Service team on (02) 4227 7111.
