The Avoca Beach Surf Life Saving Club was established in 1929 and over the years has had a long and proud tradition in patrolling, competition and community involvment. Avoca Beach Surf Life Saving Club patrols the beach from October through to late April each year with voluntary patrols on the weekends and public holidays.

e Guards. We are one of the largest and oldest Clubs on the Central Coast, with the following memberships

Our Club colours are blue, green and gold and are worn with pride.

We’re proud to support local member Ian (Wisey) Wiseman as he takes on an incredible challenge this September, swimming 33.3km around the Greek island of Skopelos over 4 days.

This swim is about much more than distance. Wisey is raising money for Rare Cancers Australia, a cause very close to his heart after losing his wife Rebecca to a rare cancer 12 years ago. After previously swimming from Europe to Asia through the Dardanelles and raising nearly $15,000, he’s now aiming to raise $10,000 for this year’s challenge.

We’re behind you all the way, Wisey. If you’d like to support the cause and help make a difference, please get behind this amazing effort.
