*** Forecast - Our water temperature forecast
Actual near-shore water temperatures in Casuarina can vary by several degrees from the values shown, particularly after heavy rain, strong southerlies, or prolonged windy conditions. Certain wind patterns can trigger upwelling, where cooler, deeper water is pushed to the surface and replaces the warmer top layer, leading to noticeable short-term changes in water temperature.
Our water temperature forecast is produced using a proprietary mathematical model that combines real-time measurements with long-term historical patterns, local weather conditions, wind strength and direction, and air temperature specific to each coastal region. To improve accuracy, we cross-check data from nearby locations and use multiple sources, including offshore buoys, satellite-based sea surface maps, and observations provided by local authorities.

Annual Water Temperature Trend
Nestled between the Tweed River and the salt-sprayed coastline of the Northern Rivers, Casuarina is a proper hidden gem for anyone looking to get their hair wet in the Coral Sea. Because it sits right in that sweet spot of Northern New South Wales, the water stays fairly inviting for most of the year, usually hovering around a refreshing 19°C in the middle of winter and climbing up to a balmy 26°C or 27°C during the peak of the summer heat. It’s the kind of spot where you can ditch the thick rubber for a good portion of the year, though you might want a spring suit if the southerlies start kicking up in July. The ocean here is generally clean and clear, making it a cracking spot for a dip if you’re keen on avoiding the madness of the more famous breaks further south.

Swimming Conditions
When it comes to having a splash, swimming is absolutely allowed and encouraged, but you’ve got to keep your wits about you. The beach is wide and open, which means it can be prone to some hefty rips and strong currents depending on the swell. For that reason, the best way to enjoy the water safely is to head down to the areas patrolled by the local surf lifesavers and always stay between the red and yellow flags. There aren't any enclosed rock pools or netted baths here, so it’s straight into the wild blue, but that’s exactly what makes it such a top-tier spot for a genuine Aussie beach experience. Whether you’re just cooling off after a walk or heading out for a proper paddle, it’s a brilliant stretch of sand that captures the best of the North Coast’s laid-back vibe.
