A heatwave tortures Bondi visitors. The day has barely begun or the first of many victims fall due to a heat stroke.

The lifeguards now change to treating people for hypothermia. As a race starts, not many swimmers make it to the end in the freezing water. When a strong wind comes in, tourists flee the beach, but surfers head in. With more surfers in than waves it is a recipe for collisions.

Episode #4.12
In late summer, the lifeguards take care of various rascals' troubles, such as drunkenness. A weird nude man knocking over kids lets Whippet towel him up, it's actual an 'escaped' mental patient. Quigley demonstrates even fine athletes can end in stitches at Hawaian paddle surfing, like pro-skateboarder Ventura falling badly at Bondi's annual Bowl-a-Rama, being blinded. Most bizarre is a tsunami alert after a Chilean earthquake, yet many people refuse to clear the beach and the giant waves never arrive.
