someone should make an app (or maybe they already have?) that just tells you what the best two or three AKL beaches for swimming are at a given moment in time. processing safeswim data and tide times and that.

It all depends on how much rain in summer we get. I kayak fairly often in summer and avoid beaches until a few days after rain as a general rule, but you see scores swimming in beaches with do not swim alerts on safeswim website. Interesting article below.

I always check Safeswim (and more commonly swim at Blockhouse Bay - the sea surface tends to be flatter which is better for swimming 'lengths') - after heavy rain both are polluted for 1-2 days, but it's safe far more often than not. I swim every 1-2 weeks (weekly when I can) year-round.

I ❤️ safeswim!
You won't be surprised to hear how often swimmers are out there trying to beat the odds of horrible illness.

And everyone gives Safeswim a hard time. At least Auckland Council are actively measuring and improving issues. What you don’t measure, you don’t care about.

Yeah, Uncle Wayne's definitely the primary offender. He appears to have seen the words "computer modelling" and decided that meant Safeswim doesn't do any water sampling at all. And his staff and councillors are on holiday, so ...

Rain in Tāmaki Makaurau Auckland makes beaches unsafe. This doesn’t seem right. #safeswim. #auckland #urbanism #infrastructure #stormwater

Yeah I don’t think it has that sort of detail! Now I want the safeswim app back! (I use NZTides for tides, and NIWA weather for winds, why do I have so many apps?!)
December 10, 2024 at 7:56 AM
I’m just happy that AC are monitoring/modelling the conditions. Safeswim is a huge step up from nearly every other location in AoNZ that runs with ‘it was fine last week’.

Auckland swimmer question: Is anyone else finding the new Safeswim app to be worse than the previous iteration?

I don’t think it’s as bad as has been reported and Central Interceptor will help solve a bunch of the inner city issues, once completed in 2026.
