*** Forecast - Our water temperature forecast

Actual near-shore water temperatures in Beachport 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 is allowed at Beachport and is popular, particularly in sheltered areas close to town. The bay and jetty areas tend to have gentler conditions than fully exposed beaches, making them suitable for general swimming when the weather is settled. Outside these protected spots, the influence of the Great Australian Bight brings stronger swells and currents, which require caution. During the warmer months, swimming is more comfortable, while many locals choose wetsuits outside peak summer to stay in the water longer. Overall, Beachport offers enjoyable swimming opportunities by southern standards, combining cool, clear water with accessible locations that suit relaxed swims when conditions are right.
