When is the best time to visit Bondi Beach?

When to visit Bondi Beach is a common question asked by first time visitors to Australia.

Undoubtedly summer, December to February, is the best time to visit Bondi Beach when people flock to the beach to make the most of the stunning Sydney weather.

That said, the best time to visit Bondi Beach could arguably be anytime from October through to April when average temperatures at the beach hover around 30 degrees celsius and the water is crisp yet inviting.

October, November, March and April are a little cooler (between 20 and 30 degrees celsius on average) and a little quieter as the masses don’t flock to Bondi Beach in quite the same numbers and for many, this is preferred to the busy peak of summer.

If you do happen to visit in Sydney’s cooler months still ensure Bondi Beach is still on you to-do list. There’s still a great chance you will be bathed in sunlight and it never really gets too cold down there by the standards of most places.

There’s also a lot more to do in Bondi than to just hit the beach. With fewer tourists you may find that the greater availability of restaurant bookings, less traffic and the generally more relaxed vibe is the perfect way to explore Bondi.
