Annual Water Temperature Trend

Berry Bay sits on the southern end of the Yorke Peninsula, looking into the waters of Spencer Gulf, and its water temperatures are shaped by this relatively sheltered gulf setting. In summer, the sea is at its warmest, usually around 19–23°C, which feels comfortable for swimming on hot days. Autumn brings a gradual cooling to roughly 17–20°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 15–18°C, influenced by sunshine, tides and calmer gulf conditions.
