All beaches in Sydney’s eastern suburbs have been closed as precaution.

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.
