Check the live forecast above before heading out, then plan around Waverley’s coastal shifts — the seabreeze often cools Bondi by mid-afternoon while inland suburbs like Bondi Junction stay a couple of degrees warmer.
What’s the forecast for Waverley today?
The live forecast above gives the local picture for Waverley, which stretches from the Bondi cliffs back to Bondi Junction. Because the area sits on Sydney’s eastern suburbs coastline, morning conditions can differ markedly from afternoon when the sea breeze arrives. For the broader picture, check Sydney weather and compare with inland suburbs — Waverley typically stays 1–3°C cooler than Parramatta in summer.
How does Waverley’s coastal location affect the weather?
Waverley’s position between the Tasman Sea and the eastern suburbs means frequent afternoon seabreezes, especially from November to March. This keeps Bondi Beach and nearby streets noticeably cooler than suburbs just 5 kilometres west. In winter, the ocean moderates overnight temperatures, so frost is extremely rare. For hourly changes, look for waverley weather hourly data on the live feed above.
Will it be windier at Bondi than at Bondi Junction?
Yes, typically. The exposed Bondi coastline picks up the afternoon seabreeze while Bondi Junction, being about 1.5 km inland and slightly higher, gets less wind. Check the live forecast above for wind speed differences.
How reliable is the forecast for Waverley?
Very reliable out to 3 days, thanks to the Bureau of Meteorology’s coastal models. Beyond that, small changes in the seabreeze timing can shift temperatures by a couple of degrees. For severe weather updates, see Severe Weather Warning.
Is the water temperature warm enough to swim year-round?
Bondi Beach water temps range from about 18°C in winter to 22–24°C in summer. Many locals swim all year, though a wetsuit is common from June to August. The live forecast above includes water temp when available.
