Damaging Surf to continue intensifying along parts of the New South Wales coast during Monday.

Weather Situation
A low pressure system off the southeast NSW coast will deepen this morning as it moves offshore into the southern Tasman Sea. Strong to gale-force southeast to southerly winds around the low will generate large and powerful waves for parts of the NSW coast.

Mid North Coast, Hunter, Metropolitan, Illawarra and South Coast
VERY HEAVY SURF which may lead to localised damage and coastal erosion is possible along the New South Wales coast south of Seal Rocks from this afternoon and evening, becoming more likely during Monday. These conditions may further persist into Tuesday.
Beach conditions in these areas could be dangerous and people should stay well away from the surf and surf exposed areas, particularly south-facing coastlines.
A Hazardous Surf Warning is also current for parts of the New South Wales Coast.
