Beaches along Sydney's coast are being smashed by a huge swell brought on by the wild weather battering much of NSW.

In the eastern suburbs, the usually calm waters at Nielsen Park are turbulent and frothy, and the ocean pool at Bronte has been swallowed by the sea.

Bondi is also taking a beating with waves crashing into the lap pool at Icebergs.
