Annual Water Temperature Trend

Brunswick Heads, or Bruns as the locals call it, is a true-blue coastal classic where the river meets the sea in a spectacular way. If you’re keen on a dip, you’re in for a treat because the water temperatures here stay pretty welcoming for a good chunk of the year. During the summer peak in February, the Coral Sea hits a balmy 25°C to 27°C, which is absolute gold for a long soak. When winter rolls around in August, it’ll drop back to a fresher 20°C or 22°C. While that might have some reaching for a spring suit, it’s still plenty warm enough for a quick splash if you’re not a total softy about the cold.
