The Bureau of Meteorology has issued a hazardous surf warning for the northern NSW coast including the Mid-North Coast.
The large easterly swell combined with strong winds, means most beaches and rock platforms in these regions will likely see treacherous conditions continue throughout the week.
Surf Life Saving NSW advises the public to take caution if visiting the coast this week.
Surf Life Saving NSW CEO Steven Pearce says it's important for people to heed coastal safety warnings and check local conditions before heading to the beach.
"At this time of year, only 12 beaches are patrolled in NSW," said Mr Pearce.
"It's vitally important that beach-goers consider the dangers associated with coastal activities in hazardous surf.
"By overestimating your ability in the water or on rock platforms, you're not only compromising the safety of yourself but also our lifeguards and emergency services."
