CANCELLATION
This is devastating, conditions have now deteriorated so quickly that we have been forced to abandon all further events today.
Our priority is always keeping you safe out on the course and our Surf Life Saving team can no longer perform their role safely in the conditions we are now faced with.
We are so sorry that this has to happen, many of you are standing on the beach as we speak and this will be devastating news. However, it is in the best interests of all swimmers and support staff that we have made this decision.
Our focus for now is on making sure that those on the course finish safely, we will provide a further update later today about the next steps.
