Cockburn Sound- safe to swim?

 With todays imminant gazillion + degrees, we're packing the kids up and heading to get some sand between the toes. For ever and a day, we've generally headed to the dawgie beach @ woodies point, nice n calm bay, great for the kidlets. But is it safe to get wet there now? Does anyone out there know? 

Further to that, i've generally always taken a flickie or two and pretty much every time been able to pick up a few herring and such. Whats the status on aquatic life in the sound now? Any signs of ANY life at all?

 

Thanks in advance for any info..
