Massive swells and king tides combine to batter parts of Sydney's coast, causing damage at Bondi, Cronulla and Bronte Beach

Some Sydney beaches have been hit with huge swells and a massive king tide. Residents in Botany Bay were forced to evacuate last night as powerful surf and the king tide inundated homes. There is a warning for hazardous and damaging surf with the potential to cause coastal erosion and damage from the NSW Illawarra to the Hunter coasts.
