A deep low off the north coast will move away to the east Sunday night and on Monday, while a ridge of high pressure develops in its wake.
This will cause winds to ease but large and powerful waves are likely to continue during the first half of the week. The next cold front looks set to brush the southern waters on Tuesday.
Where
For Monday, BOM is warning of large and powerful surf conditions hazardous for crossing bars by boat and rock fishing for the entire NSW coast. In the north there will be 2.5 to 3 metre seas plus 4 to 5 metre swells; in the south, there will be 1 metre seas and 4 metre swells. Swell directions are very mixed...mostly south and south easterly but some north easterly thrown in on Batemans/Eden coasts.
