Rough surf from ex-tropical cyclone Fina has forced the closure of half the beaches in New South Wales.Dean Storey from Surf Life Saving NSW says the large swells are extremely dangerous.
"At this stage it's looking likely like at least half of the beaches across the state are closed. The swell is affecting most of the New South Wales coastline," Mr Storey said.
"The beaches that are exposed to the north-east are copping the swell the biggest, but the key message today is the whole coastline is affected by a large swell, very strong rips, very strong current.
"The north coast has been copping it the last couple of days, but it's now affecting pretty much the whole state."
He says swimmers should only swim between the flags at patrolled beaches. more
