== Safety information== The [[rip currents]] along this section of coast are very unpredictable and can shift with little warning. They claim many lives despite the efforts of surf life-savers. Most of these drownings, however, occur after lifeguards are off duty or after rock fisherman wearing heavy clothing are washed off rocks, out of sight of the lifeguards. Lifeguards advise swimming between the red and yellow flags, during patrol hours. After the death of two men at Piha in February 2013, lifeguards say the water fools swimmers by appearing deceptively calm, obscuring strong rips, and people should stay out of the water if they are not confident swimmers.<ref>{{cite news| url= http://www.3news.co.nz/Cant-swim-Stay-on-the-beach-urges-Piha-lifeguard/tabid/423/articleID/288012/Default.aspx|work=3 News NZ |title=Be careful in the water, urges lifeguard | date=February 25, 2013}}</ref>
