Sydney's eastern beaches, including Bondi, Bronte, and Cronulla, experienced severe damage due to overnight swells reaching 5.5 metres. Notably, the Icebergs pool suffered significant destruction, with broken glass fences and a large water tank found washed ashore. While some locations like Wylie's baths managed to avoid major issues, many eastern beaches remained closed for safety. Crews worked urgently to assess and repair crumbling infrastructure, including cracked walkways at Cronulla and other damaged areas across the coast, while a few daring swimmers still ventured into the turbulent waters.
Bondi beach was pummeled by huge 5.5 metre swells, causing significant damage to infrastructure like the famous Icebergs pool and area walkways.
Despite the damage, locals like Sam Bebb reported less severe impacts at Wylie's baths due to its higher elevation and resilient amenities.
