Hazardous surf warning for NSW coast

NSW residents have been advised to stay out of the water over the coming days. Beachgoers, boaters and rock fishers have been notified to avoid surf-exposed areas or coastal rock platforms prone to ocean swells. It comes as warnings for hazardous surf were issued for the Illawarra Coast, Batemans Coast, and Eden’s Coast. A low-pressure system over the Tasman Sea has been producing a vigorous southern flow in its western flank, creating dangerous conditions. The warnings extend to Byron Coast, Coffs Coast, and Macquarie Coast.
