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.
