Annual Water Temperature Trend

Greta Beach sits on the wild coastline of Christmas Island, where the Indian Ocean brings consistently warm, tropical water year-round. Unlike mainland Australia, there’s very little seasonal swing in sea temperature here. During the drier months, roughly from May to October, the water generally sits around 26–27 °C, which feels pleasantly warm and comfortable for swimming. In the wetter season, from November through April, temperatures often edge up slightly to about 27–28 °C. Even during periods of rain or cloud, the sea stays warm, making Greta Beach feel inviting purely from a temperature point of view.
