Annual Water Temperature Trend

Busselton sits along the sheltered waters of Geographe Bay on the Perth South Coast, and that protection gives it some of the warmest and calmest sea conditions in southern Western Australia. Water temperatures are very swimmer-friendly for much of the year. In summer, from December to February, the sea typically ranges between 21–24°C, often feeling warm and inviting, especially on still mornings. Autumn remains comfortable at around 19–22°C, while winter cools to roughly 15–17°C, which is still manageable for short swims. Spring brings a steady warm-up again, usually sitting between 17–20°C as air temperatures rise.
