Patrol Hours
Wainui is patrolled each weekend by volunteer lifeguards throughout the summer months from December until March. During the December and January period, paid lifeguards watch over the beach during the weekdays, ensuring beach users are safe. Whilst on patrol, we set the red and yellow flags to surround the safest area on the beach. If necessary, we move these flags as the beach conditions change.
