Huge stretch of NSW coastline remains under hazardous surf warning
Large stretches of the NSW coast remain under a hazardous surf warning today as the clean-up from the monster waves continues.
A low-pressure system in the southern Tasman Sea has been generating large and powerful waves along the NSW coast this week.
The Bureau of Meteorology says heavy surf today is expected to be hazardous for activities such as rock fishing, boating, and swimming, on beaches from Eden, south of Sydney, to Bryon on the far north coast.

NSW Police Marine Area Command is urging people to stay out of the sea and avoid walking near surf-exposed areas.
Sailors crossing shallow water and ocean bars should consider changing or delaying their voyage.
Boats already on the water should carry the appropriate safety equipment, including lifejackets. Crews should log on with their local Marine Rescue radio base.
Meanwhile, repairs at the Bondi Icebergs in Sydney, the famous beachfront venue on Bondi Beach, continue today after it was damaged by a king tide yesterday.
Massive swells topping 10m inundated Icebergs, smashing glass fences and reaching above the pool deck and into the building.

Council workers are also continuing to repair coastal footpaths in South Cronulla which were ripped up by the surf.
Today the Manly ferry, from Sydney's Northern Beaches to the Circular Quay, is running, but passengers should expect a bumpy ride, with waves of about 2 metres expected in Sydney Harbour.
Conditions are forecast to ease by this afternoon.
