Many beaches are likely to be more polluted than the beach grades suggest during and after periods of heavy rain. Bathers should avoid swimming at beaches for up to three days after a storm or heavy rainfall.

The public are also advised to avoid swimming at "Grade 4" beaches until the water quality has improved.
