Annual Water Temperature Trend

Greenly Beach sits on a remote stretch of the Eyre Peninsula coastline, facing straight into the Great Australian Bight, and its water temperatures reflect this exposed southern ocean setting. In summer, the sea is at its warmest but still cool by most standards, usually ranging from about 17–20°C. Autumn brings a steady drop to roughly 15–18°C, while winter is distinctly cold, often around 12–14°C. Spring warms slowly, with water temperatures commonly sitting between 13–16°C, and sudden changes can occur after strong winds or swell rolling in from the Bight.
