Annual Water Temperature Trend

Eden sits at the southern tip of New South Wales on the Far South Coast, overlooking the Tasman Sea, and its water temperatures reflect the cooler climate of this region. In summer, the ocean generally warms to around 20–23 °C, which feels refreshing but comfortable for swimming on clear, sunny days. Autumn often remains mild, with water temperatures commonly between 18–21 °C, while spring is cooler at roughly 16–19 °C as the sea slowly warms after winter. During winter, water temperatures typically fall to about 14–16 °C, which can feel quite cold without a wetsuit and usually limits swimming to short, bracing dips.
