Increasing south to southwesterly winds and dangerous surf conditions are expected along the coast as another low develops over the Tasman Sea and deepens Tuesday night and Wednesday.
Seas of up to 4 metres and swell of up to 4 metres are expected.
Surfers have been relishing the conditions at Pambula Rivermouth but anglers are being warned to be careful.
A rock fisherman died over the weekend at Maroubra and this follows the deaths of two fishermen in eight days, one at Kiama on August 15, the second at North Curl Curl on Saturday (August 23).
Large and powerful surf conditions especially Tuesday afternoon and evening are expected to be hazardous for coastal activities such as crossing bars by boat and rock fishing.
