Annual Water Temperature Trend

Baby Lizards Beach sits on the Yorke Peninsula within the Spencer Gulf region, and its water temperatures benefit from the gulf’s more sheltered conditions compared to the open southern ocean. In summer, the sea is at its warmest, usually ranging from about 20–24°C, which makes it comfortable for swimming on hot days. Autumn brings a gradual cooling to roughly 18–21°C, while winter is cooler but still manageable, often around 13–15°C. Spring sees a steady warm-up, with water temperatures commonly sitting between 16–19°C, influenced by sunshine and lighter winds typical of the gulf.
