Massive swells smash windows at Sydney's Bondi Beach

A powerful king tide caused damage as it battered Sydney's coast on Tuesday evening.

Waves reaching 5.5 metres shattered glass and lifted floors at Sydney's iconic Bondi Icebergs pool.

The surf club's manager said the sheer magnitude of water was like nothing he had seen before.

Further down the coastline, residents in Botany Bay were forced to evacuate as water inundated homes.
