Bureau of Meteorology forecaster Rosa Hoff said the weather could be hazardous for rock fishing, boating and swimming.
“There is a south-easterly swell being caused by a high pressure system in the Tasman Sea, with a deep low pressure system north-east of New Zealand causing the water to travel to Queensland beaches,” she said.
