NSRI Buoy missing
The Pink Buoy at St Francis has gone missing. These buoys are used as flotation aids for rescue. We have had a few go missing at beaches around the country but we have a very high success rate once the community buys NSRIin and people realise that it could save a life. Please help us return it to its spot.
Spring Tide Alert
NSRI urges the public to be aware and to to be cautious around the coastline for the remainder of this week and into the coming weekend as the Full Moon Spring Tide peaks tomorrow, Tuesday, 29th May, with the Full Moon.
The higher than normal high tide, lower than normal low tide and stronger than normal rip currents brought on by the Spring Tide will last into the weekend. Rough sea conditions brought on by cold fronts and high wind speeds around the coastline, together with the Full Moon Spring Tide, will result in unfavourable and rough sea conditions around the coastline.
NSRI urge public members walking and hiking along the coastline, anglers fishing from the shoreline, boaters, deep-sea fishermen, sailors and sailboarders, surfers and paddlers to excise caution.
