Good Morning!!

Today, we're talking about winds - specifically offshore winds.

This is when the wind blows from the land out to sea. Offshore winds can make conditions close to shore appear deceptively calm.

🔹 Check the wind direction and forecast before heading out
🔹 Plan your return: A strong offshore wind can make getting back to shore more challenging. Conditions can change quickly.
🔹Know when to call for help: If you find yourself being carried further offshore, raise the alarm early and call for help. Do not attempt to swim back.

A tailwind can be welcome, but it's not so helpful when it's carrying you out to sea!

Stay safe, know your coast, and we'll see you out there!

Our beaches are visited all year round so it's important to know your flags and what they mean. Always look for the flags on the beach when you arrive and ask someone if you don't know what they mean. Please keep checking the flags as they can change through out the day depending on the conditions.
If you or someone else gets in to difficulty please ring☎️ 999 and ask for the coastguard.

Here are the tide times for the next 7 days..
Please stay safe and enjoy our beaches and coastline.
️📌Please note: There is no standard accuracy when comparing the astronomical tide predictions and observed water levels.
📌If you see anybody in difficulty call 999 and ask for the coastguard.

📱 Save it. Share it. Be the one who knows what to do 📞🦭

If you came across a stranded dolphin, turtle or seal, would you know how to help?

It’s probably not something most of us expect on a beach walk, but knowing what to do makes all the difference

Don’t gatekeep the useful stuff 👀 Share with your local groups, family group chat, or save it for your next coastal adventure

You might never need it or already know what to do... but someone who sees your share might need it 🌊
