“However, the dangerous surfing conditions associated with a large, powerful three to five meter surf are likely to continue for the rest of Monday and Tuesday.
“Locations that may be affected include Newcastle, Sydney, Wollongong, Bulli, Port Kembla and Kiama,” the office said.
Woodhouse said the damaging winds that shook the coast, especially Ilwarwarra, calmed down early Sunday. The coastal town of Bellambi, north of Wollongong, had the highest gust of 100 km / h around 1am.
Winds of over 90 km / h were also recorded at Nowra and Moss Vale during the night.
“The winds are slowing down a bit in the afternoon, but it will stay on the windward side,” Woodhouse said.

Snowfall in Thredbo and Perisher in the snow-capped mountains was expected on Sunday. Snow enthusiasts gathered in the mountains for the opening of the ski slopes during the long weekend, after weeks of snow. Thredbo car parks were filled on Sunday at noon, forcing Alpine Way to close on SkiTube Way. Motorcyclists were urged to avoid the area.
Perisher recorded 94 centimeters of snow over the past seven days, while the Thredbo ski resort said snow depths had reached 125 centimeters before the opening weekend.
Australian snowboarder Tess Coady, who is a Thredbo ambassador and Olympian, said on Sunday that “being able to ride this terrain on the opening weekend was crazy. You can feel how excited everyone is to be here.”
A high-pressure system moving across the state was expected to lead to more sunny periods and warmer temperatures on Tuesday.
