Bondi Beach has reopened after a shark was spotted in the water, forcing swimmers out of the water for the fourth day in a row.
Alarms sounded out across Bondi about8.30am on Friday afteranother shark was spotted in the waters for the fourth day in a row.
The beach was shut for all swimmers and surfers on Friday morning.
Bondi Beach has since reopened, a Waverley Council spokesperson told NewsWire.
The shark sighting was confirmed by SharkSmart NSW.
“Waverley Council lifeguards advise that all beaches in the LGA are currently closed due to shark sighting at Bondi Beach,” a SharkSmart statement read.
It is not known what the type of shark or how long it was.
The beaches in Sydney’s east were closed on Friday morning following the shark sighting, but some have since reopened.
Bondi, Coogee, Clovelly and Maroubra beaches remain open on Friday afternoon, while Bronte and Tamarama remain closed, according to Beach Safe.
This is the fourth time a shark has been spotted at the popular beach, with surfers forced out of the water on Thursday after a great white was seen swimming nearby.
Chilling footage shared by Drone Shark App showed the great white shark swimming a short distance from the breaking waves.
Surfers attempting to enter the water quickly turned around once they were notified, sending the drone operator a thumbs up as they left the beach.
“Third day running, here it is again,” the drone operator said in the video.
On Wednesday, Bondi was cleared out shortly before 7am after a shark was seen circling near the beachgoers.
