Surfing

Bondi Surfbreaks

Bondi has a series of beach breaks along its 600m length, with both consistent surf and consistent crowds, many of whom are not locals and may or may not have seen the ocean before.
The beach faces pretty much south, so works in most S swells, E swells or pretty much anything that is not from the north. Offshore winds are N.
The beach can't hold very big swells, but when its 5ft+ the best waves are likely to be at the south end of the beach. Rides are usually short, under 50m, maybe up to 150m on a good day when the sandbanks are all working. Best tide is mid to high.

History

Name

Bondi is an aboriginal word. It means 'water breaking on rocks'

Sculpture by the Sea

Sculpture by the Sea is an interesting artistic event involving outdoor sculptures placed along the Bondi Coastal walk from South Bondi to Tamarama. Many of the sculptures make use of the surrounding coastal environment. Sculpture by the Sea runs over a fortnight each November. Click here to visit site.

This site is designed as a guide only, and should not be used as the sole basis for trip or activity planning.
Risk level is a compariative guide only and should not replace local knowledge or your own judgement based on your experience and current conditions.
The ocean is a dynamic environment and no guide on the internet should be used as a replacement for experience or correct training.
Most activities involving the ocean carry some risk. It is your responsibility to assess this risk based on current conditions, your experience and knowledge you obtain from a number of different sources.
Do not partake in activities beyond your experience level without proper training and supervision.
Local SLSC Lifeguards are an excellent source of local information with regards to current ocean conditions. Where possible, always swim between the flags, especially if you are not a strong swimmer. Collapsing sandbanks and sudden rips are a major cause of rescues at Australian Beaches.
Never swim in the ocean at night or while under the influence of alcohol. Avoid the water at dusk at beaches that have had recent shark attacks reported. Activity ratings are an attempt to reflect a combination of popularity, quality, consistency and reputation of rated activity. An activity with a higher rating from beach to beach may be more popular, or consistent, not necessarily better. A higher rating reflects a better chance of enjoying (or witnessing many others enjoying) activity, but due to exposed nature of beach does not guarantee activity will be available on any particular day. All distances are approximate. Nearest town or suburb will share name of beach unless otherwise stated. Distance to nearest town is based on distance from middle of beach to main shops and restaurant area.
