Bondi Beach, NSW Daily Water Report — September 2, 2026

Today at Bondi Beach, it's a stellar day for diving with a near-perfect score of 9.3/10. The conditions are ripe for underwater exploration thanks to calm seas and clear skies. Surfing is also looking promising with a solid 7.7/10, though the waves are slightly smaller than yesterday at 0.76 meters with an 8.6-second period. The swell is coming from 159 degrees, providing some decent rides for those willing to paddle out. The wind is a bit of a mixed bag today, blowing from the northwest at 8 knots with gusts reaching up to 22.4 knots around noon. This could make things a bit choppy for sailors, scoring a 7.3/10, but it’s nothing that seasoned sailors can’t handle. Boaters and kayakers should find the water reasonably friendly, with scores of 7.5/10 and 7/10 respectively, despite the wind's occasional bluster. The air temperature is a comfortable 17.3°C, though it feels a tad cooler at 14.7°C, so a light layer might be wise if you’re planning to stay out long. With no rain in sight and visibility stretching over 53 kilometers, it’s a splendid day to be out and about. The barometric pressure is on a gentle decline, sitting at 1016 hPa, which might bring a hint of change in the coming days. Looking ahead, the weather remains generally favorable with temperatures fluctuating but staying mild, and only a slight chance of rain by the weekend. If you’re diving today, you’ve picked the right day. The water is invitingly clear, and the conditions are about as good as they get.
