As the summer months continue we’re getting excited for the start of the build project of our brand new clubhouse! But we’ve still got more to raise to complete the internal works.
This new facility will provide improved surveillance for us and the RNLI as well as protect the future of our club for generations to come. Find our JustGiving link in our bio and the comments below 👇

You can't see these rips at beach level but the Lifeguards know where they are and are keeping a close watch with the swimming areas being between both rips and to the south of them. They are the darker river like areas with no waves breaking.

Thanks again to our volunteer patrol last night for their vigilance and quick response to a swimmer in difficulty in the strong current.

Just as patrol shifts were changing over, Ben B spotted a swimmer being carried by the current where the rivermouth feeds into the north rip current. Quickly alerting other members of the patrol team, he and Ben S grabbed boards and paddled out to retrieve the swimmer.

Throughout this week our patrol volunteers have been on the beach talking with beach users and providing information about water safety, especially with the very large spring tides this week creating very strong currents.

If you’re coming to the beach:
💦 Always swim between the red/yellow flags when lifeguards are on duty (10am-6pm).
💦 Check the tides, they change each day in time and size. There are useful apps that provide this information so you can plan your visit to the beach.
💦 The tides this week are exceptionally large meaning a lot of water on the move and very strong currents. Especially just after high tide in the rivermouth area between Fern Pit Bridge and the sea around Pentire Headland. Never swim, paddle or kayak in the rivermouth area where the current feeds the rip current.
💦 The rip currents across the beach will change with the tide and surf so always listen to the lifeguards.
💦If you’re caught in a current, wade or swim to the side or Float to Live and call for help. Stay with your board if you have one.
💦 If you see someone in difficulty call 999 and ask for the coastguard.

Huge thanks to our newly trained coastal surveillance patrol volunteers last night It was a busy evening for them with the large spring high tides and strong offshore winds. These create very dangerous conditions for paddleboards and inflatables, with high risk of being carried out to sea. Thank you team for your valuable volunteer hours.

If you’re heading to the beach to watch the eclipse this evening, please be aware that the outgoing currents will be very strong especially around the lower part of the Gannel and rivermouth.

💦 Lifeguards are on duty 10am-6pm

Fantastic day of patrol training yesterday. Huge thanks to SLSGB Director of Operations, Adey Mayhew for travelling down to deliver two courses:

SLSGB Level 1 Coastal Surveillance Training in the morning - patrol framework, beach environment, communication and reporting. Attended by 17 members of Crantock SLSC and 5 members from Newquay and Mawgan Porth.

Then in the afternoon the more advanced SLSGB Patrol Captain’s course - incident management, JESSIP and scenarios, attended by 8 members from across the 3 clubs

A great day and what’s more, even more local people trained in coastal surveillance and helping to keep our beaches safer.
