G’day, I’m Rusty. Let’s break down what’s ahead for Bondi Beach.
Right now, it’s a total washout. Sunday the 5th is packing a heavy 3.5m south swell with a 40 km/h onshore wind and a combined energy of 3505 – just awful. Monday the 6th is the same story: 3.0m SSE swell, 30 km/h onshore wind, energy at 1504. Tuesday the 7th through Thursday the 9th keep the onshore and cross-onshore winds, with lumpy, blown-out surf. For the first stretch, this is more of a kite-surfing scene than paddle surfing.
Things turn around a bit on Saturday the 11th. The morning brings a cleaner 1.3m SE swell with a light offshore NW wind at 10 km/h, energy at 296. The afternoon stays tidy with a 1.1m SE swell. Sunday the 12th is the first real highlight. Early morning at Bondi Beach you’ve got clean 0.9m ESE swell with a moderate offshore NNW breeze at 25 km/h, energy at 234. Small but glassy. Water temp is about 18°C, which is pretty average for this time of year.
Then we hit a flat spell. Monday the 13th is 0.4m, Tuesday the 14th is 0.3m, and Wednesday the 15th gets windy again. A few days with very little to offer.
Looking further ahead, Friday the 17th of July afternoon has a big 3.0m SSE groundswell with a very long 16-second period, energy of 4546, and a light 10 km/h SSE wind. That’s a super long period, which can make it tricky at a beach break – better for a point or reef. It’s also over 2.5m, so experts only. Saturday the 18th is similar with a 3.0m SE swell (period 12 seconds, energy 2572) and a clean cross-offshore WNW breeze. Still big and powerful.
The best window for most surfers is Sunday the 19th. Morning at Bondi Beach has a 1.9m SSE swell with offshore NW wind at 20 km/h, energy at 919 – nice and clean. Monday the 20th morning is the absolute standout: 2.4m S swell with an offshore NNW wind at 20 km/h, energy at 1694, and the swell direction (S) lines up perfectly with the optimum. The offshore wind will make for smooth faces. Crowds are often here, so expect company. At 2.4m it’s a bit much for beginners, but for anyone comfortable in solid surf, this is the pick of the entire run. Just remember, long-range forecasts have a bit more uncertainty.
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.
