A severe weather warning alert has been posted for 800km of Australia's east coast, with forecasts of heavy rain, damaging winds, abnormally high tides and dangerous surf | jennynoise sarah_keoghan

"Particularly, as you move north of the border, just into south-east Queensland, it's comparable to what we've seen with a tropical cyclone," she said.

As for its impact on tourism to the town, Mr Kirkwood said his venue had been fully booked despite the weather event and was able to stay open throughout the storm."When this weather system passes, people will go back to their normal behaviour." Over 150 millimetres of rain was seen in some areas on Monday as Cape Byron recorded peak winds of 104km/h.

On Monday, the fringes of the weather system were affecting Sydney and the Hunter, where a few showers were expected throughout the day and more rain is expected on Tuesday. "By comparison, it will be easing in the Northern Rivers and Mid North Coast [on Tuesday], but they can still expect about 100 millimetres," she said.The erosion of the beaches means sticking to patrolled beaches and swimming between the flags will be even more important this summer, Surf Life Saving NSW chief executive Steve Pearce said.
