"They are currently doing a run-up and down the coastline with their boast to check the water quality, see if there is any oil or any other parts of the whale floating around.
"We will advise the lifeguards accordingly and they will keep them closed and open up again tomorrow."
The municipality has asked the public to use alternative beaches.
