Huge wave warnings close Sydney beaches

With massive waves predicted along Sydney's coast, all but two of the city's beaches are closed.

The flags were out only at North Bondi and Clovelly beaches this morning with rough swells posing a risk to swimmers. "The swell forecast was for up to nine-foot (2.7m) waves regularly for beaches throughout Sydney. The waves would reach 3.5m. Waves are expected to pick up through the day so restrictions may increase. Maroubra and North Narrabeen as well as beaches between Manly and Queenscliff, and Cronulla and Wanda were likely to be hardest hit by high waves. Most people have been pretty good, staying away from the area unless there is a flagged area. There had been no reports of serious beach rescues.
