Annual Water Temperature Trend

Dromana sits along the eastern side of the Mornington Peninsula, facing Port Phillip Bay with the Bass Strait beyond, and its water temperatures are shaped by this sheltered bay setting. In summer, the water usually warms to around 19–23 °C, which feels comfortable for swimming and spending long periods in the water. Autumn often remains mild, with temperatures commonly between 17–21 °C, while spring is cooler at roughly 15–19 °C as the bay gradually warms after winter. During winter, water temperatures typically drop to about 13–15 °C, which feels cold but is still manageable for short swims, especially on sunny, calm days.
