*** Forecast - Our water temperature forecast

Actual near-shore water temperatures in Agnes Water can vary by several degrees from the values shown, particularly after heavy rain, strong southerlies, or prolonged windy conditions. Certain wind patterns can trigger upwelling, where cooler, deeper water is pushed to the surface and replaces the warmer top layer, leading to noticeable short-term changes in water temperature.

Our water temperature forecast is produced using a proprietary mathematical model that combines real-time measurements with long-term historical patterns, local weather conditions, wind strength and direction, and air temperature specific to each coastal region. To improve accuracy, we cross-check data from nearby locations and use multiple sources, including offshore buoys, satellite-based sea surface maps, and observations provided by local authorities.

Swimming Conditions

Swimming at Agnes Water is allowed and popular, particularly because it is one of the few north-facing beaches in the area. This orientation often results in gentler waves and more manageable conditions compared to exposed open-ocean beaches. The main beach is frequently patrolled, which adds an extra level of safety for swimmers. As with much of coastal Queensland, marine stingers can be present during the warmer months, usually from November to May, so many swimmers wear stinger suits or stay within supervised areas. Outside the stinger season, the clean water, moderate surf, and wide sandy beach make Agnes Water well suited to swimming for a broad range of abilities.
