No experience is necessary for Bondi Beach surfing – you can surf in water that’s just waist-deep – but Bondi Surf recommends that anyone interested in renting a surfboard at Bondi Beach be able to swim the length of an Olympic swimming pool (50 meters).

Tip for the best Bondi beach surf experience

The best time to surf is typically during low tide (however, the water might be busier and/or surfboards hire in Bondi may not be available) and read up on surfing etiquette before you try surfing for safety.
