Great white shark sighting close to houses at flood Narrabeen Lagoon

A great white shark is believed to have been spotted in floodwaters close to a residential area in NSW.

A video was posted to Instagram showing what seemed to be a large fin in Narrabeen Lagoon, which has burst its banks following heavy storms.

Shark tracking website dorsalwatch.com logged the sighting at 7.23pm yesterday.

‘Great White spotted in Narrabeen Lagoon. Fin spotted from shore. Lagoon was opened up to the ocean due to storm and flood warnings,’ it stated, adding the length of the shark was not specified.

Sharks have been spotted in the lagoon on rare occasions in the past.
