The Roughwater, to Creek Swim, 2km

Sunday, January 7, 2007, 10am

M-shaped course inside Bondi Bay. Start and finish at North Bondi SLSC, out to sea past Ben Buckler, in towards the centre of Bondi beach, out towards Mackenzies Point, in towards the Icebergs, then north behind the break back to North Bondi.

The start and finish are in relatively protected corner of North Bondi, which can take a wave if conditions are particularly difficult. It's a much more even break here, though. Don't forget the runout as a means of getting out through the break quickly. Once out past Ben Buckler, conditions can be very bumpy. Swell usually peaks in mid-beach at Bondi, so follow the set course well and don't come in too close to the break, just in case a rogue wave comes through.

563 finishers last season. 15th season for this swim.
