A Great White shark was spotted at Nobbys Beach in Newcastle, Australia.

On January 27 at Nobbys Beach in Newcastle, Australia, a Great White shark was spotted in the surf zone, prompting the beach to be closed for the day due to poor visibility and the risk of further sightings. The Department of Primary Industries' drone monitoring program alerted lifeguards to the shark's presence, and they called swimmers out of the water. The closure occurred shortly after the annual Nobbys2Newcastle ocean swim event, which was rerouted back to Nobbys Beach due to unsuitable swimming conditions at Newcastle Beach. Lifeguards expected the beach to reopen on Sunday morning, conditions permitting, and no injuries were reported due to the shark sighting.
