Man drowns at coast

Offshore swells of up to 4m were seen across the South Coast, as ex-tropical cyclone Fina hit the state.

The ex-tropical cyclone generated dangerous conditions from Christmas Eve through to Wednesday, according to Weatherzone meteorologist Doug Fenton.

”The swell has been particularly large over the Christmas period [but] they’ve dropped back,” Mr Fenton said.

”We were getting 3m to 4m offshore swells, so that’s certainly dangerous conditions.”

Next week is forecast to be warm and sunny around Batemans Bay, as a hot air mass moves in from Australia’s north-west. A light morning shower was expected early today, but the outlook was otherwise positive.

”Early next week, it’s getting into upper 20s … a lot of heat has been building in the country’s north-west, and that’s all moving to the south-east now,” Mr Fenton said.
