Bondi Beach has been severely impacted by a massive swell reaching 5.5 meters (18 feet), resulting in extensive damage, including shattered windows at the Bondi Icebergs Swimming Club.

In Botany Bay, multiple homes were evacuated around midnight due to flooding, highlighting the widespread impact of the storm.

Sam Bebb, operations manager at Wylie's Baths in Coogee, noted that while they experienced minor damage compared to Icebergs, they still faced issues with broken seating and potential fence damage.

Authorities recommend that the public avoid surf-exposed areas and refrain from entering the water during these hazardous conditions.

Stephan Soule, a coastal erosion specialist, indicated that the damage caused by the flooding will take considerable time to repair, particularly due to significant sand loss.

The combination of large swells and a king tide has led to significant flooding and damage to beachfront properties across Sydney, as reported on April 2, 2025.

While the immediate threat of coastal hazards has passed, the Bureau of Meteorology has issued a hazardous surf warning for the entire New South Wales coast, advising against swimming and boating.

Local residents expressed shock at the unprecedented wave heights, with one describing the flooding as the worst experience of her life.

Authorities have warned of continued hazardous surf conditions expected on April 3, which could lead to further coastal erosion and damage from the Illawarra region to the Hunter region.

At Cronulla Beach, lifeguard reports indicate damage from 4-meter (13-foot) waves, affecting the beach, surrounding pavement, and electrical infrastructure.

Fishers are urged to stay away from coastal rock platforms and seek safer locations to avoid danger from the surf.

Experts believe the extreme weather conditions may be linked to Tropical Cyclone Alfred, which previously caused flooding and power outages along the east coast in March.
