Surfers and swimmers are being warned about dangerous conditions over the coming days along the NSW coast.
The weather bureau has predicted dangerous surf conditions from Monday through to Wednesday due to a developing weather system from the Illawarra region through to the north coast.
Swells peaking at 3-4 metres are forecast for some areas, with even larger and stronger conditions further offshore.
The warning comes just days after two men drowned in separate incidents at Bondi and Bellinger, near Coffs Harbour.
"The best advice we can give people is to be aware of their environment and the changing conditions. Take the time to study a recent weather forecast before heading out and let others know what your plans are," Surf Life Saving NSW operations manager Andy Kent said in a statement on Sunday.
