Bondi Beach Sydney Australia

Situated right in the heart of Sydney, a city of about 3 million people, is Bondi Beach. Bondi Beach is one of those instantly well-known beaches when you mention Australia. Bondi Beach gets 1000's of tourists, sunbakers, beach-goers and surfers visiting every week.

Unfortunately the surf at Bondi Beach doesn't really live up to the hype. Most surfers don't bother with Bondi Beach, it does have its days but this is after all an average beach break, usually with mushy peaks. Better to leave it to the tourists if you are travelling to Australia to surf.

While you are in Sydney you should consider surfing Avalon, Whale Beach, Newport beach or Dee Why for better surf. Alternatively, you can fly out from Sydney Kingsford Smith Airport and take a flight up to the Gold Coast to surf the legendary Superbank or over to Perth in West Australia to have a crack at some heavier waves like Margaret River.
