... but 15.6 C (61F) at 6 am, and got up to 18 C. And the water temps still 21C (72F). So despite the cute Google graphic, feels nothing like the past 8 winters we'd gotten used to in NYC.

And this is interesting:
Bondi Beach water temperatures peak in the range 22 to 25°C (72 to 77°F) on around the 5th of February and are at their lowest on about the 18th of July, in the range 16 to 20°C (61 to 68°F). Bondi Beach water temperatures are always warm reach their highest at the beginning of February. You'll need a 2mm neoprene top or a shorty at dawn/dusk or if it's windy. The lowest seasonal water temperatures at Bondi Beach in the third week of July lend themselves to a 4/3mm wetsuit or a 3/2mm suit and 3mm neoprene boots.
However, actual sea surface water temperatures close to shore at Bondi Beach can vary by several degrees compared with these open water averages. This is especially true after heavy rain, close to river mouths or after long periods of strong offshore winds. Offshore winds cause colder deep water to replace surface water that has been warmed by the sun. Air temperature, wind-chill and sunshine should also be considered before deciding on the kind of wetsuit needed to stay warm when surfing at Bondi Beach. This info comes from surf-forecast.com which offers detailed weather forecasts with this information.
