Yeh my first lesson is this weekend and I'm extremely keen and already monitoring the winds. The water should be fine, the salt would of killed off anything after this long.

Beach is still officially closed and will remain so over the weekend. Progressive samples have confirmed a drop in toxisity but not to a safe level as yet. Samples were taken yesterday and will be taken again on monday. The results of samples will be reviewd again on wednesday of next week when we will find out what they decide.

After many calls to various council departments I found someone who knew what was going on and could give me the above time frame. I will post more when i hear in on Wednesday. We will not be teaching until we recieve a positive result.

Is there another beach you can hold lessons at? Redcliffe or somewhere south?

yeah the water was a little nutty yesterday

Had a call on Friday, Nudgee beach was officially re-opened. RRU was sent to take all closure signage off. Very few debris around, with water nearly back to normal state. Remaining beaches should follow suit in the next few days.

So is Sandgate still open or now closed again????????
