Please be mindful of this and follow all signage or instructions related to pool restrictions, or considering your ability & the risks associated with rougher conditions. As waves crash in to the pool, the water level rises and rushes out via the path of least resistance - north - and can take YOU with the rush of water. Keep in mind, the most dangerous and exposed area of the pool is the northern wall - the one closest to Coogee Beach. If you prefer the whirlpool scene - the high tide will give you better wave action! Swim within your ability, and if you aren't sure about getting in, we encourage you to sit and watch the conditions for ten minutes or more, as lulls between sets can give you a false sense of calm in the pool. It's also a 'living pool' with marine life, a natural rock bottom, octopus, fish, sea urchins, and more! Most importantly, Wylie's Baths is a dynamic tidal pool environment. Depending on how big the swell is, this window of 'good lap swimming' will diminish ie some days, you're only good for 30 minutes either side of the low mark.
If you are after "still water" for lap swimming & those infinity pool vibes, best to come in the window of 3 hours before low tide and 3 hours after low tide. If there is much swell (wave action) about, this can create quite rough and dangerous conditions. Wylie's Baths is built below the high-water mark, which means it gets flushed twice daily by the high tide. You can find more information about Bronte Beach here.Question: When is the best time to swim at Wylie's Baths? Great question!
I would love to go back in summer just to the beaches, catch the morning light and have a leisurely swim with not a care in the world. The water was so inviting with its aqua/green hue that I just wanted to wade in, clothes and all. One man told me it was about 16 degrees Celsius. It was a warm winters day with a bit of an icy breeze in the unprotected areas yet there were still a few people swimming.
How lucky we are to live in this country, sometimes you forget to appreciate what is around you. What a wonderful place, during the whole walk I was stunned by nature at its rawest and by design with the rock pools, it is just magnificent. My only disappointment was just not being there before dawn, maybe next time. Having been to Bondi at Easter this year and not having a great deal of time, I decided to start the walk at Bronte beach at the first tidal pool.
It wasn’t a long walk but stopping and taking photos did take time but I managed to get it all done and was really happy as I made my way back into Sydney and then to my flight home.

I myself, rather than spending double on airfare, decided to stay over and go on Saturday thus enabling me to go out to the southern beach area of Sydney to have a look at the tidal pools I have seen many times in pictures. Luckily she has had a reprieve for a few weeks and went home Friday happy in the knowledge. Not being sure what to expect as she may have had to have an operation, I took my camera just in case. This last week I unexpectedly had to go to Sydney with my sister.
