​Keep an eye on tides. Always check the tide before you enter the water. If you are not sure, check with a lifeguard.

Be careful not to get cut off by the tide when walking along the shore.

Always ensure your children are not in danger from the tide when playing on the beach.

Don't think it is safe to wave dodge. The sea is unpredictable and what looks like fun could end in tragedy, with large waves taking you out to sea.

Spilling waves are the safest to swim in. They appear when the top of the wave tumbles down the front.

Dumping waves break with great force in shallow water. These are dangerous waves that usually occur during low tide. Avoid the sea when you see dumping waves.
