Alright, Rusty here. Let’s get into it.
First off— the whole 16-day window is mostly a bust. Big gaps with nothing worth paddling for. The first week is essentially a washout, day after day of onshore slop and blown-out junk.
We start with Bondi Beach. Friday July 3rd? Forget it, swell is a pathetic 0.3ft with weak energy. Just not happening. Saturday the 4th shows a bump to 3ft from the south, but wind swings onshore and messy; water temp is about average, sitting at 66° for this time of year. Sunday the 5th sees a pulse of 10ft south swell, but it’s a complete onshore nightmare with 30-35 km/h winds— wave energy hits 1654, but it’s all for nothing.
The whole first week is a dumpster fire. Monday the 6th through Thursday the 10th is just varying degrees of onshore crud and marginal conditions. The only real glimmer is Saturday the 11th afternoon: glassy, 2ft from the south-east, 81 energy. It’s surfable, but still tiny and ordinary.
Then another dead zone from Sunday the 12th through Friday the 17th. Some clean winds, but the swell is either too small or the wind just wrecks it. Monday the 13th morning has a clean 5ft south swell with cross-off winds from the WNW at 15 mph, but it’s poor quality. The waves just aren’t coming together.
Now, here’s the one true standout, but you’ve got to wait for it. Saturday the 18th at Bondi Beach. Morning is clean with a west wind at 9 mph, cross-off, working with a 12ft south swell, period of 11 seconds. Combined energy is massive at 2718 (strong). The afternoon holds even bigger at 13ft SSE, same clean conditions, energy of 3471. I’ll be straight up— the forecast says it might be too big for the break. This is expert-only territory, maybe too much for most. But if you’re a heavy-water charger and the wind stays light, that’s a raw south groundswell hitting a classic beach break— expect long, angry sets and a serious paddle.
Crowds are often a factor, so expect company if it’s even half as good as it looks. This is a long-range call for the second week, so treat it as promising but not locked in. Until then, it’s all about waiting.
Rusty.

Information about the Bondi Beach Surf forecast
The above surf forecast table for Bondi Beach provides essential information for determining whether the surfing conditions will be good over the next 16 days. A general guide to surfing at Bondi Beach can be found by selecting the local surf guide option on the grey menu. Our Bondi Beach surf forecast is unique since it includes wave energy (power) that defines the real feel of the surf rather than just the height or the period. If you surf the same spot (Bondi Beach) regularly then make a mental note of the wave energy from the surf forecast table each time you go. Very soon you may start to choose your surf days based on the wave energy alone combined with our forecast of favourable offshore wind conditions. Our star ratings will help here and of course you will also find the usual wave height and period predictions on our surf forecasts as well as a full break down of the swell components under our advanced users option (to reveal that, click the little Einstein character under the tide times).
Further information to help with frequently asked questions about our surf forecast for Bondi Beach may be found under the help tab on the top menu and also by moving your mouse over the question marks on the surf forecast table itself. Please always bear in mind that the forecast is for near-shore open water and local factors at each surf break influence the actual breaking wave height, such as the beach / reef profile, water depths offshore and shelter.
Bondi Beach is 5 km (3 miles) from Randwick. If you plan a holiday in Sydney South Coast, look for hotels and other accommodation in Randwick. Randwick has rooms for a wide range of budgets as well as car hire and transport links.
