*** Forecast - Our water temperature forecast
Actual near-shore water temperatures in Edrom 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 Overview by Month
Monthly Water Temp Ranges
Annual Water Temperature Trend
Edrom sits on the Far South Coast of New South Wales near the shores of Twofold Bay, with water conditions shaped by the Tasman Sea but softened by the bay’s sheltered position. Water temperatures here follow a clear seasonal cycle. In summer, the sea usually warms to around 20–23 °C, which feels refreshing and comfortable for swimming on warm days. Autumn often remains mild, with temperatures commonly between 18–21 °C, while spring is cooler at roughly 16–19 °C as the water gradually warms after winter. During winter, water temperatures typically drop to about 14–16 °C, which can feel quite cold without a wetsuit and usually limits swimming to short, brisk dips.

Swimming Conditions
Swimming in Edrom is allowed and generally best enjoyed in the calmer bay waters rather than the more exposed outer coast. Twofold Bay often has smaller waves and gentler currents compared to open Tasman Sea beaches, making swimming more approachable on settled days. These conditions suit confident swimmers as well as those looking for a quieter, less turbulent swim, especially in summer when the water is at its warmest. Like all coastal areas, conditions can change quickly with wind and weather, so awareness is important. In cooler months, many locals still swim but keep sessions brief or wear wetsuits. Overall, Edrom offers clean water, noticeable seasonal temperature changes, and relaxed swimming opportunities in a peaceful Far South Coast setting.
