Windy conditions to blow in

WIND gusts up to 30 knots are expected Wednesday morning in the Tweed as a low pressure system moves into the Tasman Sea.

The Bureau of Meteorology warned that the low pressure system would cause strong winds on the central NSW coast this afternoon and slowly move north.

Swell is expected to increase to 3m in water off the Tweed on Wednesday.

Marine Rescue Point Danger commander Bernie Gabriel said a few small boats and whale watchers were of the coast this morning in ideal conditions.

"It is getting a bit choppy a fair way out but the whales are in the calmer water," Mr Gabriel said.

"We are warning anyone who logs in that we are expecting it to get blowy later.

"It (low pressure system) is moving quite slowly."

The bureau warned from mid-Wednesday morning winds would reach 30-40 knots over open waters, with seas increasing to 3-4m over open waters with a large swell of 4-6m extending from the south.

Tweed Shire and Gold Coast councils were monitoring beach conditions, with the swell combining with high June tides expected to increase the risk of erosion.
