Weather and sea data by Open-Meteo.com (CC BY 4.0), from Météo-France, ECMWF and Copernicus models. Tides predicted from TICON-4 harmonics for the Port Elizabeth gauge. Sea readings are an offshore model, not a measurement at the beach. Not for navigation.
The red and yellow flags mark the patrolled area. Our lifeguards watch that stretch of water, so stay inside it.
If the flags are down, there's no patrol. Wait for the lifeguards, or stay on the sand.
Stay calm and float. Raise an arm and shout for help, or swim parallel to the beach until you're out of the current.
Small children can go under in seconds, even in shallow water. Watch them the whole time they're in the water.
Swim with a friend, and not after drinking or a big meal. If in doubt, stay out.
Tell a lifeguard straight away, or call 112 from any mobile. Don't go in after them unless you're trained.
