Annual Water Temperature Trend

Berrys Beach sits on the southern side of Phillip Island, facing the open waters of the Bass Strait, and its water temperatures reflect the cooler, more exposed nature of this coastline. In summer, the sea typically warms to around 18–22 °C, which feels refreshing rather than warm but is still comfortable for swimming on clear, sunny days. Autumn often remains mild, with water temperatures commonly between 16–20 °C, while spring is cooler at roughly 14–18 °C as the ocean gradually warms after winter. During winter, temperatures usually drop to about 11–14 °C, which is cold and generally limits swimming to short dips or those wearing wetsuits.
