Surf Safety

Surf Safety

  • Always swim between the red and yellow flags— not outside them. The flags mark the safest place to swim and the area where lifesavers and lifeguards patrol.
  • Many surf beaches in Australia have strong currents, called rips. These are powerful currents of water that can drag you along. If you find yourself being caught in a rip, do not panic. Stay calm, float with the current and raise your hand, or swim across it, not against it.
  • The sun in Australia is very strong. Always wear a shirt, hat, sunglasses and sunscreen lotion.
  • Read and obey the warning signs on beaches and beach access points.
  • Always swim with others. Children should always be accompanied in the water by an adult who can swim.
  • Never swim under the influence of alcohol or drugs, or in darkness.
  • Avoid contact with any sea creatures you might encounter at the beach. While they may look harmless some inflict a sting or a bite. Be particularly careful of marine stingers in coastal waters of northern Australia.
  • Never run, jump or dive into shallow water.
  • If you are unsure of the surf conditions check with a lifesaver.
