Fingal Beach Surf Club

Lifeguard Patrol

Beach season — September to April

Professional lifeguards and volunteers patrol our surf beaches to help keep you safe. We patrol One Mile Beach all year round, with Fingal & Birubi patrolled from September till the end of April every day from 9am – 4pm and sometimes longer in the summer peak period.

Volunteer lifesavers operate on weekends at Birubi and Fingal Beach.

About Fingal Beach

Beach water safety

• The safest place to swim at the beach is between the red and yellow flags.
• Mark a reference point on the shore to avoid drifting.
• Always read the surf conditions board.
• If you think conditions are too rough for you, don't go in.
• Always swim with a friend, never alone.
• Swim parallel to, and not away from, the shore when you swim long distances.
• Swim in well-lit areas so you can be seen if you get into trouble.
• For your safety, leave the water immediately when requested by a lifeguard.
