Lifeguard Zac Turner urged swimmers to keep safe with dangerous conditions expected to continue for the next few days.
“With this building swell and dangerous, rough conditions we’re reminding people to swim between the flags and within their ability,” he said.
“Things can change so quickly … the ocean is a dangerous place.
“Swim between the flags and if you’re in doubt don’t go in the water or speak to a lifeguard before you do.”
