NSW Police, the Bureau of Meteorology and Surf Life Saving NSW held a press conference yesterday afternoon, 4 January, to issue a safety warning to the community as dangerous surf conditions continue along the State’s coastline. But anyone within a whisper of our beaches today was well aware of fury lapping our shores.
It’s a north east cyclone swell from ex-tropical cyclone Seth. Local beaches are closed though there are scores of surfers making the most of the gigantic waves at Freshwater and along the LGA.
The main image was captured at South Curly on Monday by photographer @sg.lc. The popular Rockpool is always one of the hardest hit with NE swells and a favourite for fun and foolishness.
