Annual Water Temperature Trend

Evans Head Beach sits on the far north coast of New South Wales, facing the Coral Sea and influenced by warm subtropical waters. Water temperatures here stay comfortable for swimming across much of the year. In summer, the ocean typically warms to around 25–27 °C, making conditions ideal for long swims and relaxed time in the water. Autumn often holds onto that warmth, with temperatures commonly between 23–25 °C as weather patterns settle. Spring begins cooler at roughly 21–23 °C before steadily warming toward summer. Winter is the coolest period, but even then the water usually remains around 19–21 °C, which many locals still find suitable for a swim on sunny, calm days.
