SURF REPORT

BEACHES IN GOOD ODDER The ideal weather conditions have been responsible for the marked improvement in the state of the local beaches, and conditions for surf bathing over . the week-end should be of.. tha best. > . ' The Tomahawk beach is in excellent order. The sea is smooth and conditions, are good, but bathers are warned not to venture out too_ far, as con- , ditions are sometimes liable to alter with the change of the tide. This was illustrated last Sunday, when a woman was carried but after a rip came up with the turn of the tide. St. Hilda beach is. in better .order than for some time past. The water is warm and the sea fairly smooth,'and there is an absence of holes in ; the beach.' To-morrow afternoon displays of life - saving will be given by the , St. Hilda Club. • As predicted a few weeks ago, the sand has gradually' came_ back to .the St. Clair beach, which is in better condition now than at any other time this summer. The sea is smooth and the water warm. , . - The mild temperature of the water at the St. Clair Baths during the last week or two has also greatly increased the patronage accorded this beautiful salt-water pool, described by many as one of the best natural salt-water bathing pools in the world.
