There will be scrutineering at Umina SLSC this Saturday from 8am til 12 noon.
This is the last chance prior to state.
Very occasionally we get what's termed a SMEAC briefing from our state operations centre. Today's one is a doozy.
In short, there are competing weather systems causing high winds, heavy rain and large, 'confused' seas over the coming week.
By Sunday, we're expecting 5m swells, a 2m high tide, and fresh NE winds.
It's not often you'll hear us say this, but being on the beach this weekend, even walking your dog, could be dangerous. Please stay away. And DEFINITELY - DO NOT go in the ocean. DO NOT attempt rock fishing.
Our lifesavers will be on duty as usual, but we will not allow them to put themselves into ridiculously dangerous situations, which an ocean rescue, particularly on Sunday, could constitute. If you get into trouble we will of course do our best, but against these conditions, our best may not be good enough.
Please stay safe, stay away from the water, and even off the beach.
Club member Brad Evans is on a mission to shave the world from blood cancer…
Will you be my shave-sidekick and sponsor me for World’s Greatest Shave this year?
Your donation will go towards giving Aussie families facing blood cancer the emotional and practical support they need, plus fund vital research.
Every day another 41 Australians are diagnosed with a blood cancer. Although research is improving survival, sadly an Australian loses their life to blood cancer every 36 hours
Will you help by sponsoring me?
