2022-04-10 | Cape Hawke SLSC, Palmgrove Pl, Foster, NSW, 2428, Australia
This Sundays Club 2 Club Ocean Swim has been cancelled.
Representatives of Forster and Cape Hawke SLSC met in relation to our swims to be conducted on Sunday.
Due to prevailing conditions with rain (WATER QUALITY) and waves forecast that operating a swim at Main Beach was not considered safe. We looked at having swims at Cape Hawke SLSC -one mile beach however easterly swell and waves forecast was a high risk with a falling tide
All entries will roll over till next years event which is to be conducted 2 April 2023.
