*** Forecast - Our water temperature forecast

Actual river water temperatures may vary by several degrees from the reported values, particularly after heavy rainfall or periods of changing weather. Rainfall, river flow rates, and runoff from cooler upstream areas can significantly affect water temperature, especially in flowing sections and shaded stretches. Air temperature and cloud cover also play an important role, with warm, sunny conditions helping rivers warm up more quickly. As a result, noticeable temperature differences can occur along the same river.

Our forecast is based on a proprietary mathematical model that takes into account real-time river temperature changes, historical data, seasonal patterns, river flow conditions, recent rainfall, and local air temperature. We also factor in broader weather conditions specific to each region of Australia to improve accuracy.

Location & Local Information

Beaudesert sits on the upper reaches of the Logan River, well inland from the coast, where the river is narrower and more influenced by local weather than tides. Water temperature here follows the warm subtropical climate of the Scenic Rim. In summer, from December to February, the Logan around Beaudesert is usually around 22–26°C, and in slower pools it can feel warmer during long hot spells. Spring and autumn are comfortable, with water temperatures generally in the 18–22°C range. Winter brings cooler conditions, but the river rarely feels cold, typically sitting around 14–18°C, especially in deeper sections that hold their temperature better. After heavy rain, fresh inflows can briefly cool the water and increase flow.

Swimming Conditions

Swimming in the Logan River at Beaudesert is technically allowed, but it’s not a major swimming spot. While summer water temperatures can be pleasant, conditions vary a lot. After rain, the river can rise quickly, with stronger currents, reduced visibility and debris in the water. Water quality can also change depending on runoff and seasonal conditions. For these reasons, locals tend to be cautious and only consider swimming during settled weather in familiar, calm sections. More often, people around Beaudesert choose nearby creeks, dams or pools for a safer swim, with the Logan better suited to quiet riverside time than regular swimming.
