The sightings will come following a man was attacked at North Avoca beach on Tuesday night whilst surfing.

The 28-calendar year-outdated reportedly punched the shark and was later taken to hospital with fairly minimal cuts and bite marks.

The issue primarily is Avoca but the sharks we sighted … were all around Copacabana, Terrigal and Avoca, so it really is very a sensible length, Mr Leahy ongoing.

There is fairly a lot of baitfish all around at the second and these men are chasing the baitfish.

Mr Leahy was incapable to detect the species of shark noticed on Wednesday but said specifics of the sightings ended up handed onto Surf Lifesaving NSW and the Office of Principal Sectors (DPI).
