In response to new measures introduced by the State Government that limit the number of people on any beach to 500, some beaches and harbour pools are closed until further notice. This is to encourage appropriate social distancing (1.5m between people) and to reduce the spread of coronavirus (COVID-19). Please contact councils for local beach conditions.
Weather Situation
A high pressure system near Tasmania is slowly moving east across the southern Tasman Sea, while a low pressure trough lingers off the northern coast of New South Wales. Winds are expected to tend more northeasterly over the weekend as the high moves further east and a cold front approaches from the west. This front is expected to bring a southerly change to New South Wales waters during the first half of next week.
