Annual Water Temperature Trend

Clovelly Beach is a narrow, sheltered bay on Sydney’s eastern side, opening into the Tasman Sea but protected by concrete walls and natural headlands. Because of this setting, water temperatures follow the same seasonal pattern as nearby ocean beaches, but conditions often feel slightly calmer. In summer, from December to March, water temperatures usually sit around 21–24 °C, making swimming comfortable and popular. Autumn brings a gentle drop to roughly 19–21 °C. During winter, the water cools to about 16–18 °C, while spring sees temperatures lift again into the 18–20 °C range as warmer currents return.
