The 25/26 season will run from Saturday 27 September 2025 to Sunday 26 April 2026.
We’re already gearing up for another season of surf lifesaving, and next season we’ll be operating under a new lifesaving contract with updated patrol hours. These changes ensure we’re providing our vital services when the beach is at its busiest.
Here’s what to expect:
27/9/2025 – 26/10/2025: 9am to 4pm |
1/11/2025 – 7/12/2025: 9am to 5pm |
13/12/2025 – 22/2/2026: 9am to 6pm |
28/2/2026 – 29/3/2026: 9am to 5pm |
4/4/2026 – 26/4/2026: 9am to 4pm |
During our peak season (13 Dec 2025 – 22 Feb 2026), patrol swap over times will change to even up the day:
Morning Patrol: 9:00 AM – 1:30 PM
Afternoon Patrol: 1:30 PM – 6:00 PM
These new hours have been developed in collaboration with Surf Life Saving Australia, using beach patronage statistics recorded through our operations app while we are on patrol. The goal – to ensure we’re always there when the public needs us most!
