Dangerous conditions warning for Hunter and Sydney coasts extended to Thursday 13 June, and possibly the weekend
Why
A south to southwesterly airstream along the coast is expected to strengthen over the coming days, possibly during the weekend, as a complex low pressure system forms and deepens over the Tasman Sea.
Where
Dangerous conditions continue on Wednesday on the Hunter and Sydney coasts, and now extend to Thursday. There will be seas of 3 metres and southerly swells of 4 to 5 metres.
BOM is warning that on all these waters surf conditions are expected to be hazardous for coastal activities such as crossing bars by boat and rock fishing.
Watch out for further updates as we get closer to the weekend.
Swell period
Swell period will be short and dangerous, around the middle of Wednesday it will be just 5 seconds between swells, but back up to around 10 seconds on Thursday.
