Poll: Do you wash chicken before cooking?

We Say, You Say: Beach Safety

Hi Auckland,

Do you know how to spot a rip?

A study conducted by Surf Lifesaving New Zealand at Muriwai Beach found that 78 per cent of beach goers could not identify a rip current.

One geomorphologist involved in the study spotted a "well-established" rip offshore and asked individuals at the beach to point it out.

The vast majority could not do so.

According to SLSNZ, around 80 per cent of rescues made were from people getting stuck in rips. They say that the easiest way to identify them is to spot calm strips of water that are flanked by breaking waves.

“They commonly occur in deeper channels that are cut between sandbars, which means waves don’t break as much in the rip current – this means that beachgoers often mistake them as the safest areas to swim because the water looks so calm when compared to the breaking waves either side.”

Hi All
Does anyone know this vehicle? It is parked fully on the pavement on Glenvar Road for the past week. We have tried to contact the number on the vehicle but it is not answered, nor are they responding to texts.

Yesterday a little boy on his bicycle had to swerve into the busy road because the pavement was blocked, not to mention pedestrians, who have to walk on the road to get around it. It is possible that the vehicle is stolen and has been abandoned and we have reported it to Auckland Transport.

Thanks
