For the third consecutive day, the Bureau of Meteorology has warned of large and powerful surf conditions on Wednesday.
Seas of 2 to 3 metres and a southerly swell of 4 metres, tending southeasterly, are forecast for coastal waters between Port Hacking and Ulladulla.
The bureau has issued a hazardous surf warning for the Sydney, Illawarra, Batemans and Eden coasts.
Conditions are expected to be hazardous for coastal activities such as rock fishing, swimming and surfing.
The wild seas are the result of a slow-moving, deep low pressure system over the central Tasman Sea and a strong high pressure system near Tasmania.
“The two systems are directing vigorous southerly winds along the NSW coast,” the bureau said.
“Winds will ease during Wednesday as the low moves further east.”
Smart drumlines won’t be deployed at Kiama or between Narrawallee and Ulladulla on Wednesday, the DPI said.
Beaches were closed at north and south Mollymook and Narrawallee.
