NSW Police have found the body of a man after he disappeared at a lake in Mt Annan, south of Sydney.

"Several officers entered the water searching for the man without success," NSW Police said.

"Police divers attended and the body of the 38-year-old man was located about 8.15pm.

"A crime scene was established, and a report will be prepared for the Coroner."

The death comes on a treacherous day for NSW, with other water rescues and the death of a woman on a beach at Coffs Coast.

Ex-tropical cyclone Seth has brought severe weather to much of Queensland and caused enormous tides down the east coast as far south as NSW.
