*** Forecast - Our water temperature forecast
Actual near-shore water temperatures in Guerilla Bay 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.

Monthly Water Temp Ranges
Annual Water Temperature Trend
Guerilla Bay lies on the Far South Coast of New South Wales between Batemans Bay and Moruya, opening directly onto the Tasman Sea. Water temperatures here are noticeably cooler than further north, with a clear seasonal pattern. In summer, the ocean usually sits 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 sea slowly warms after winter. During winter, water temperatures typically drop to about 14–16 °C, which can feel very cold without a wetsuit and limits most swims to short, bracing dips.

Swimming Conditions
Swimming at Guerilla Bay is allowed and can be excellent when conditions are right. The bay is partly protected by headlands, which can reduce the impact of strong Tasman Sea swells and create calmer water compared to fully exposed beaches nearby. This makes swimming possible for confident swimmers on many summer days, particularly when the sea is settled. However, waves and currents can still be present, so conditions change quickly and awareness is important. In cooler months, most swimmers either keep swims brief or wear wetsuits. Overall, Guerilla Bay offers clean, clear water, distinct seasonal temperatures, and rewarding swimming in a scenic and relatively sheltered coastal setting.
