Annual Water Temperature Trend

Currumbin Beach sits on the southern end of the Gold Coast, right where the Coral Sea meets the mouth of Currumbin Creek, and water temperatures here are comfortable for swimming most of the year. In summer, from around December to March, the sea usually sits between 24 and 26 °C, giving the water a warm, inviting feel that suits longer ocean swims. During winter, typically June to August, temperatures drop back to about 20–22 °C, which can feel cool at first but is still pleasant on sunny days. Spring and autumn are often ideal, with water temperatures commonly ranging from 22–24 °C and generally mild conditions both in and out of the water.
