Surfcom

Surfcom is Sydney Northern Beaches Radio Communications Coordination centre. This is located at Fisherman’s Beach in Collaroy. Qualified radio operators volunteer their time to man the base and provide coordination of beach and aquatic services as required. This vital part of our communication also liaises with external emergency services as required and provides information and guidance to patrols and members as needed. Surfcom also coordinates, monitors and logs beaches for signing on and off, collecting patrol statistics and any other information required for our data base.

Please find attached Surfcom Roster.

Volunteering

Surfcom operators are a range of ages and come from all areas of the community. It is not necessary to be a patrolling lifesaver as full training is provided for our operators to enable them to ably operate the radio equipment and computer programs. If you are interested in joining this vital communications Support Service, please contact the SNB Branch office for further details.
