Merewether and Pogos for the early. South Bar, Dixon and The Alley during the afternoon. Dudley, Frenchmans and Catho to the south. Birubi and Treachery to the north.There are shallow banks in close causing some sweeps and heavy shorebreaks. Beaches patrolled and listen out for lifeguards. Water temp 17C.
