Annual Water Temperature Trend

Boydtown sits on the Far South Coast of New South Wales near the entrance to Twofold Bay, with water influenced by the Tasman Sea but slightly moderated by the bay’s shape. Water temperatures here show a clear seasonal pattern. In summer, the sea usually warms to around 20–23 °C, which feels refreshing and comfortable for swimming on warm days. Autumn often stays mild, with temperatures commonly between 18–21 °C, while spring is cooler at roughly 16–19 °C as the water gradually warms after winter. During winter, temperatures typically drop to about 14–16 °C, which can feel quite cold without a wetsuit and limits most swimming to short, brisk dips.
